Mark, George & Simon have done a fantastic job sanding and restoring my very stained and battered wooden floor. Lovely guys, excellent work. Would highly recommend.

Jane Meek, May 2022

Mark and Simon have done a wonderful job relaying, sanding and oiling my parquet flooring. They were always pleasant, punctual and really helpful. I am thrilled with the finished result. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking to have work done. Lovely people and a great job.

Julie Quarterman, 2018

We are over the moon with the work Mark Antony & Sons have recently completed in our period property in Tunbridge Wells. They successfully restored a 300 year old wooden floor in our lounge and we couldn't be happier with the end result. Would highly recommend.

Natalie Sharp, August 2022

Mark and his team did a superb job on restoring the original Victorian floors in our new property. They sanded the ground floor to remove paint and plastic grouting from the floor boards, stained them Jacobean and applied lacquer. They responded to our need for a quick turnaround in order to carry on with the house renovation. The house was transformed within a few days of their work. They were courteous, prompt and reliable. We are delighted with the end result and will be inviting them back to do more work. I would not hesitate recommending them.

Caroline Roberts, August 2021

Mark, George and Simon have done a fantastic job on what was my very stained and battered floor! They also carried out a repair on a water damaged cloakroom. It all looks brand new. Lovely guys - clean, tidy and professional. Would highly recommend.

Checkatrade Client, April 2022

Mark Antony & Sons Ltd restored a domestic parquet floor to its former glory. It looks stunning and everyone was pleasant and professional.

Checkatrade Client, April 2022

We were left in a terrible position by another cowboy tradesman after they ruined our 100 year old pine floor, original to the house. Mark and his team were hired to re-do what should have been done to begin with, and we are so impressed with their work. Our floor looks absolutely stunning. Mark and his team communicated with us throughout, gave us all our options and kept the house spotless. Considering the state of the floor we had before, I can't believe it's the same floor. Thank you so much, it's been a very stressful time but Mark and his team made it worth it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Checkatrade Client, February 2022

Great communication throughout - from quotation to work completion. We're very impressed with the finished look. Now all we want to do is sit on our lovely new wooden floor, instead of the sofa!

Checkatrade Client, October 2021

I found Mark Antony & Sons online and was really impressed with their communication and professional approach. I am so happy with the outcome. Even when I wasn't sure about the finish I wanted, they came and gave alternative options so I had all the information. Great team, knowledgable, prompt and know their stuff!

Checkatrade Client, October 2021

Our existing floor was scratched and damaged with some missing areas and gaps opening up. Mark and George sanded the floor, replaced missing areas, filled the gaps with resin, re-sanded and lacquered. The result is an absolute transformation. Excellent job - would recommend.

Checkatrade Client, September 2022

Mark and his team were a pleasure to work with - professional, reliable and knowledgeable. Our two Victorian parquet floors were in a terrible state, with loose pieces, dark brown varnish and rotten blocks. Mark took time to consult with us on the best possible finish for our floors and the results are fabulous. We are thrilled with the finished floors and would definitely use Mark and his team again in future.

Geraldine Palmer, 2018

Absolutely amazing company, amazing service and amazing attention to detail. Their work is above reproach. There is honestly nothing I can say about them that isn't anything but outstanding. Our job was probably one of the smaller jobs on their rota, but they treated us and the job as if we'd spent £100,000. And the finished parquet was wonderful. When you hire them, as a heads up, they love fresh coffee/tea with biscuits or cake!

What types of wooden floor can be restored?

Most of them!

Restoration is possible for the vast majority of floors. If your floor is solid wood, it can definitely be restored. If your floor is engineered wood, it can usually be restored - but as the layer of real wood on an engineered floor is usually only a few millimetres, it depends on how many times it has been sanded or restored before.

For particularly damaged floors, we may need to source reclaimed wood to replace some areas of your flooring - but we will do our best to match the species and age of your existing floor to make it blend in easily.

If you're not sure if your floor is suitable for restoration or if you're better off installing a new floor, get in touch! Our friendly team will be happy to advise.

How do you remove scratches, dents, stains or imperfections from my wooden floor?

If your floor is structurally sound (no loose blocks or boards), we'll get started with our dust-free floor sanding process. This process starts with using a fairly aggressive grit sand paper, which sands a layer of wood off your floors - most scratches, dents and imperfections will be in this top layer, so removing that layer will remove those issues.

From that point, we progressively reduce grit to smooth the top layer of the floor to create a perfect base for applying a floor finish.

What techniques does the flooring restoration process include?

The restoration process differs from floor to floor, depending on the level of restoration and repairs needed. Our process often includes:

- dust-free sanding
- gap filling
- repairing damaged boards or blocks
- sub-floor preparation and restoration, including damp proof membrane and levelling
- sourcing reclaimed wooden boards or blocks for repairs
- relaying loose boards or blocks
- structural repairs to sub-floor, including joists
- installation or reinstallation of skirting boards, threshold bars and beading
- installing underfloor insulation

When you contact us about your floor, we'll provide you with a detailed quote that let's you know what techniques and processes we recommend for your floor.
