Location: Exeter, Devon
Project Type: Hardwood Floor Restoration

Project Overview

The West Wing of this distinguished Devon residence boasts a stunning hardwood floor, which had seen better days. Years of wear and tear had left it looking dull and damaged. The homeowners, passionate about preserving the historical integrity of their property, entrusted Ryan’s Restoration with the task of rejuvenating these beautiful wooden floors.

Challenges

Significant Wear and Tear: The floor exhibited deep scratches, discolouration, and several areas of water damage.
Dust Minimisation: Ensuring minimal disruption and dust production during the restoration process was crucial due to the occupants’ sensitivity to dust.
Historical Sensitivity: Maintaining the historical character and aesthetic of the hardwood floors was paramount.

Process

Initial Assessment and Quotation:
- Conducted a thorough inspection of the hardwood floors.
- Provided a detailed quotation and outlined the restoration plan, focusing on client needs and historical preservation.
Preparation:
- Carefully moved and protected the client’s furniture.
- Utilised state-of-the-art dust extraction systems to ensure a clean and safe working environment.
Sanding and Repair:
- Sanded the floors using high-efficiency dust-extracting sanding machines to remove scratches and surface damage.
Staining and Finishing:
- Applied a custom stain to enhance the wood’s natural beauty, tailored to match the original colour as closely as possible.
- Finished with a durable, eco-friendly lacquer from Bona, providing a protective layer to extend the floor’s lifespan.

Results

The West Wing’s hardwood floors were transformed, revealing their original splendour and enhancing the overall elegance of the residence. The meticulous restoration not only preserved the historical character but also provided a modern level of durability and ease of maintenance.
