Services
Cork flooring installation
We specialise in installing high-density 6mm cork tiles with flexible polyurethane coatings. Our method ensures durable, sound-insulated floors suitable for kitchens, living areas, and bedrooms. Each installation includes three protective coats for long-term wear resistance.
Floor repairs
Our repair services address damaged cork surfaces by replacing tiles or sections. We match existing finishes to maintain aesthetic consistency, using the same premium materials and coating techniques as new installations.
Recoating services
We apply single-coat polyurethane refreshers to worn floors, restoring shine and protection without full resanding. This service extends floor lifespan while maintaining texture and finish integrity.
Cork re-sanding
For severely worn floors, we perform full resanding to bare cork, followed by tile replacements and three fresh protective coats. This restores structural integrity while preserving the original flooring character.
Cork product sales
We retail various cork products including sheets, rolls, noticeboards, and craft materials. Our inventory caters to DIY projects, commercial installations, and specialty applications like model railways and insulation.

Questions
What makes cork flooring eco-friendly?
Cork is harvested from tree bark without cutting down trees. Portugal's sustainable practices protect cork oak forests while producing durable, biodegradable flooring materials.
Can existing cork floors be restored?
Yes, we offer recoating for minor wear and full resanding for severe damage. Our team can often preserve original floors during kitchen renovations.
How long does installation take?
Most installations complete in 3-6 days depending on area size. We use premium materials requiring three protective coats for optimal durability.
What finish options are available?
Choose from gloss, satin, or matt finishes. Our polyurethane coating provides textured 'orange-peel' surfaces for enhanced slip resistance compared to timber floors.
Do you service residential and commercial properties?
We cater to both sectors, offering tailored solutions for homes, offices, and retail spaces using the same quality standards across all projects.
How do I maintain cork floors?
Regular cleaning with pH-neutral products maintains finish integrity. We recommend professional recoating when surfaces show visible wear patterns.

Many thanks to Mike, Mark and Lindy for resurrecting our aging cork flooring. So glad to have listened to Mike and retained this beautiful surface rather than replace. True craftsmen providing invaluable experience and professional service. Very rare but welcome commodities these days
Keep up the great work

Mike, Lindy and Mark travelled to our place, a three hour drive, and stayed with us whilst fitting our new cork floor. Not only are they very professional and extremely good at their job but are very personable people. We got on really well and would welcome them back anytime. What these guys don't know about cork, nobody would know. They are top shelf. As well as cork these guys know all kinds of things about all kinds of things. We are immensely happy with the cork, the work, the people
So much better than other so called 'tradies' we had to deal with.
