The edges look as carefully finished as the middle. That matters in an empty room, where you can see everything.

What a difference to the room. I had forgotten how attractive this wood was when it was first laid.

Over time we'd put rugs over the worn places and stopped thinking about it. Having it restored was my husband's suggestion and I must give him credit, it was a good one. The smaller rug is staying upstairs now.

Good work on our oak. We had a damaged plank replaced alongside the refinishing and the fit is neat.

Everything was explained beforehand, including the time we needed to leave it before normal use. Straightforward to deal with.

The dark mark near the doorway hasn't disappeared completely. I knew it might remain, so no disappointment there.

Overall the wood looks far healthier and the surface has a pleasing sheen without being excessively glossy.

I tend to look at the perimeter first, having seen floors where the middle was fine and the edges less so. This one has been prepared carefully right across.

The section at the cupboard entrance is particularly neat. We didn't want a colour change, just the worn coating removed and a fresh finish applied. That's what was done. There are a couple of old marks in the timber, but the overall standard is good and the floor looks well cared for.

I asked for a written breakdown because I wanted to understand the repairs as well as the sanding. Everything was set out clearly.

The completed floor looks good and the repaired area sits neatly with the surrounding timber.

Ryan explained the difference between the finishes in terms I could actually understand. Made choosing much less stressful.

Please thank Ryan for going through the timings with me again at the end. I'd remembered when we could walk on it but muddled that up with when everything else could go back.

We waited as advised. The room is all together now and the floor has a beautiful gentle sheen.

Good job on the sitting room. They assessed the damaged planks before starting and explained which ones needed replacing.

The finished floor looks consistent, though you can pick out the replacements if you know where to look. That was expected. We understood what we were paying for and got the result discussed.

I thought we'd have to replace the damaged planks in the middle, but some could be repaired. Tames talked us through which needed what.

It's all sitting together nicely now and I'm relieved we could keep most of the floor we'd originally chosen.

Our floor had that grey, worn look near the back doors which never improved however often I cleaned it. Having it restored has made that whole end of the room look cared for again.

The oak is a lovely colour underneath. I wish we'd asked about it sooner.

I chose Tames after comparing the actual work included in the quotations. One was rather vague about repairs, whereas this explained what would happen to the damaged planks.

The work matched the description and the finish looks good. There were no surprises when we went through the completed room.

I spend most of my working day in this room, so I had plenty of time to stare at the scuffs under the desk before getting them dealt with. Much nicer view now.

The finish is even and the edges look properly attended to, including behind the door. Happy with the work and the advice about protecting it from the furniture.

Honestly, I only wanted the horrible scuffed bit by the sofa sorted. Didn't expect the rest of the room to look this much nicer as well!

My sister had hers done first and I liked it enough to book ours. Different wood here, so it was useful to see what the finish would look like on our floor rather than just copy her choice.

We've gone a little warmer. It suits our room, especially with the curtains back up.
