ABOUT OUR SERVICESParquet Flooring Installation & Maintenance
Oak is by far the most popular wood type for parquet flooring. This is because oak is not only extremely durable but also very sturdy. With the use of special adhesives, the blocks stick down easily on a clean, dry, and dust free surface. Moreover, this significantly reduces the possibility of block movements resulting in bumps or uneven surface. In order to create a more impressive finish we cut the already existing skirting-boards and place wood beneath them.
Parquet flooring is made from blocks of different sizes and can take the form of various geometrical patterns to create a beautiful and decorative structure. Few common types are Fishbone parquet, Double Fishbone parquet and Square Fishbone parquet. You can also have the parquet flooring with or without a single or double border around the walls. Other options are also available such as Mosaic Parquet Flooring.
The quotation is estimated based on your needs and demands so that we can provide a competitive and affordable price. In the event that you have a limited budget we also provide advice and recommendations of what you could do to keep your costs down but still get the results and quality that you want from your floor.

PROTECTIVE LAYERSFinishing Touches
In short, after installing the parquet the next step is to sand it with special machines and add a finishing protective layer. This layer additionally can be waxed or polished. On customer’s request, the finishing layer can be Matte, Semi-Matte or Glossy.
Furthermore, varnishing and waxing adds yet another protective layer to the already existing parquet to provide extra durability. Because the wood is natural and solid it is possible to renovate it time and time again through scraping. Consequently, it makes it very cost efficient in the long run. General benefits of varnishing and waxing are:

We found Danial through recommendation.
We have used Danial and his team to update our staircases on the ground and the first floor.
The finished job is astonishing!
Danial has a lot of experience, is a great advise with an eye for detail … More and all the tools & techniques!
He is supported a good team too.
They worked outside under a marquee so that there was limited dust in the house (we are living in whilst they were working). And the work was cleaned every night.
It took a good 4 days for us...
also they agree to do a little extra work and polish our kitchen worktop (made of wood).
We are very satisfied .. are would be happy to recommend Danial to anyone.. But to be honest the work speak by itself: people are coming to visit and are already asking for his details .. -
