Restoring heritage timber floors is more than a fix up job—it’s a trip back in time, preserving the history and beauty of spaces that have been around for decades. At Sherwood Flooring we specialise in bringing these features back to life, breathing new life into timber floors that have been at the heart of homes, offices and commercial spaces for generations.
With a mix of craftsmanship, expertise and modern restoration techniques we ensure every floor is restored to its former glory while keeping the character that makes it unique. Let us show you our process and why we’re the heritage timber floor restoration experts.
Heritage timber floors are more than just something to walk on—they’re a piece of architectural history. These floors are art that can’t be replicated today. Each timber plank has a story, from the type of wood used to the hands that laid it decades or even centuries ago.
But time takes its toll. Scratches, cracks, stains and wear can dull their appearance, leaving these prized features in need of special care. Restoring these floors isn’t just about looks—it’s about preserving history. That’s why we approach every restoration project with precision and respect for the materials and the building’s story.
Heritage timber floor restoration is a specialist craft. Unlike regular flooring jobs, heritage floors require a deep understanding of timber, years of experience and a sensitivity to the unique challenges of older materials. Sanding incorrectly, repairing poorly or using the wrong finish can damage the floor forever and strip it of its character.
At Sherwood Flooring we treat every floor as a one off, we customise our approach to the space and the timber. Our team uses high quality materials and industry leading techniques to keep the original beauty and integrity of your floors and make them durable for years to come.
Every restoration project starts with a full assessment. From there we follow a step by step process to transform your floor while keeping its character.
We begin by inspecting your timber floors thoroughly. This involves identifying what needs attention, scratches, holes, uneven sections etc. We also consider the type of timber, the building’s heritage and your requirements to get the best outcome.
Sanding is the first step to remove surface imperfections and prepare the wood for the next stages. Using precision tools we remove scratches, stains and old finishes while minimising disruption to the surrounding area. The goal is to reveal the timber’s natural beauty and a smooth clean surface.
Damaged boards are repaired or replaced with timber that matches the original as closely as possible. From filling small holes and cracks with wood filler to replacing worn out sections, every repair is done with durability and aesthetics in mind. Our work ensures the floor is strong and smooth without losing its heritage character.
We choose stains and finishes that bring out the natural tones of the timber and protect it for the future. Whether you want to restore the floor to its original colour or go for a new look our colour matching expertise ensures a seamless outcome. The final finish not only looks great but is durable.
Restoring your heritage timber floors is more than just looks—it’s an investment in your property’s value, history and functionality.
Sherwood Flooring has years of experience and passion for every job. We know heritage timber floors are more than just flooring—they’re an investment in history and looks. Here’s what we offer:
