What's included

A colour change,
done the careful way

Staining punishes shortcuts — patchy colour is hard to hide. So every staining job gets the full preparation it needs.

Sanding to bare wood

Colour only takes evenly on clean, bare timber, so every staining job starts with a full sand.

Test patches first

We apply sample tones to your actual boards — timber species changes how a stain reads.

Even application

Stain worked in methodically, with the grain, for a consistent tone across the whole floor.

Edge & detail care

Edges, corners and thresholds get the same attention as the open floor, so nothing looks banded.

Sealing the colour in

Protective coats of oil or lacquer lock the tone in and take the daily wear instead of the stain.

Aftercare advice

How to clean and maintain a stained floor so the colour stays rich and even for years.

Real reviews from Dorset homeowners who trusted us with their timber floors.

★★★★★

Our Victorian pine floor looked tired and grey — now it glows. Barely any dust in the house and they left every room spotless.

SSarah H.Poole
★★★★★

Honest advice from the first phone call. The quote was clear, the work was on time, and the finish on our oak boards is beautiful.

MMark T.Dorchester
★★★★★

They repaired a couple of damaged boards you'd never spot now, then sanded and sealed the lot. Genuinely couldn't be happier.
