Wood Floor Sanding & Restoration in Essex

Went on a neighbour's recommendation. Good shout.

Booked Tames through a mate. Glad I did, they've made a lovely job of it.

was only the little front bedroom but they gave it proper attention. Nice job round the doorway especially.

An old mark remains near the hearth, as we were advised it might. I don't regard that as a fault in the work.

Elsewhere the improvement is substantial and the repaired blocks sit neatly within the pattern. Tames gave a realistic assessment and delivered a result consistent with it.

We chose a darker stain after seeing how it looked on our timber. There is still variation between the boards, which suits the house.

The sample was useful because my original choice would have been too dark over the whole room.

We nearly covered the whole thing because it looked so tired. I'm glad we had someone look at it first.

Once the old finish was removed the oak was a lovely colour, much warmer than it appeared before. We chose to keep it fairly natural and it goes well with everything else in the room. It's been a very satisfying part of doing the house up.

Loose bit by the door has been dealt with and the finish looks even. Happy with the work.

I asked Tames to look at damaged timber in a property between tenancies. Keeping the sound flooring was preferable if a sensible repair could be made.

They assessed the area and provided a clear proposal. The work is neat and the finishing blends reasonably with the surrounding surface. I've retained the aftercare instructions for the incoming tenant. A practical outcome without replacing more flooring than necessary.

I'd been putting up with the split board for so long that stepping over it had become automatic. It was only when a visitor caught their slipper that I finally did something.

The repair feels secure and the room looks better with that edge dealt with. Should have called sooner.

Thank you for being patient over the colour. I had chosen something from a photo and then disliked it on our actual floor.

Seeing a sample saved me from a fairly expensive mistake. The warmer shade we settled on goes beautifully with the room, even with my mismatched furniture.

The gap filling has made sitting by the window less draughty. Wasn't sure how much difference I'd notice, but that corner is more comfortable now.

This was maintenance on a second property before new tenants moved in. The estate agent recommended Tames.

I found the itemised quote useful because the rooms needed different work: recoating in two and sanding in the other. They kept to the agreed days. I'm satisfied with the floors and with how the job was organised.
