We could not recommend Andrew highly enough. We had our floors, which had been covered up since 1954, sanded and refinished and we are so happy with how they turned out. Andrew always turned up when he said he would, was reliable and friendly, and also helped us out by putting us onto a carpenter to fix some termite damaged boards. Andrew was also able to bring our job forward a week, which was fantastic. All in all, a reliable tradesman who does a terrific job.

Andrew did a superb job sanding and polishing our timber floors. He used the mat non-toxic finish which looks beautiful and had minimal odour. I highly recommend Andrew for sanding and polishing. Very trust worthy. Good price. Couldn't be happier!

Andrew did a fantastic job on restoring our floorboards which had been covered by carpet for more than forty years. He did the work exactly as and when promised. Highly recommended.
