or call 07796 003 638
Leatherhead’s town centre and the residential streets around it contain a good deal of original flooring. Victorian pine under carpets in the terraces, oak and parquet in the larger inter-war properties, stone in the bathrooms and kitchens of renovated period homes. These floors have often been there for a century and can last for another century more with the right restoration.
We sand and refinish wood floors, restore natural stone, and deep-clean tile and grout across Leatherhead and out to Fetcham, Bookham and the surrounding villages.
Most enquiries start with a phone call or a photo: someone who’s lifted the corner of a carpet and found good floorboards underneath, or whose limestone kitchen has gradually lost its brightness. We come and look, give you a fixed price in writing, and restore the floor. It’s straightforward.

Floor restoration services in Leatherhead
Wood floor sanding and refinishing
Original floorboards in Leatherhead’s period properties are worth taking seriously. Victorian pine, when sanded back to clean wood and finished properly, is warm, characterful and genuinely durable. Oak boards from the Edwardian and inter-war period sand beautifully. Parquet, often found in hallways and reception rooms of the larger 1920s–1930s properties, responds well to restoration even when the surface looks very tired.
We sand to bare wood, fill gaps with a colour-matched mix, hand-scrape every edge and corner, and apply the finish that suits the room. We’ll show you a test patch before you commit.
Natural stone restoration
Limestone and travertine are common in Leatherhead’s renovated and newer properties. Marble appears in bathrooms and occasional kitchen spaces. These stones respond well to professional cleaning, honing and resealing, a process that removes the surface grime and micro-scratches that dull the finish over time and restores the stone’s original brightness.
We assess the stone at the site visit and give you an honest view of what’s achievable with your specific floor.
Tile and grout cleaning
Tiles in kitchens, utility rooms and hallways gradually discolour in the grout lines, particularly in older Leatherhead properties where grout was applied without a proper initial sealer. Our extraction-based cleaning process removes ingrained grime properly, and a grout seal after cleaning makes ongoing maintenance straightforward.
We also carry out village hall floor restoration for community spaces around Fetcham and Bookham, working around bookings and committee schedules.

What does floor restoration cost in Leatherhead?
Every floor is quoted individually after a free site visit.
Floor age and condition are the main factors: period boards that need several sanding passes take longer than a lightly-worn modern floor needing a simple refresh. Repairs, such as replacing damaged or missing boards, re-fixing loose parquet, or filling large gaps, add time and material. On stone, some types need more diamond stages than others to reach a consistent finish. Layout counts too, since tight rooms with fitted furniture take longer per square metre than open spaces.
The site visit is free and the quote comes fixed and in writing before anything is booked.

Frequently asked questions about floor restoration in Leatherhead
I’ve found original pine boards under the carpet in my Victorian terrace. Are they worth sanding?
Usually yes. Victorian pine is thick, hard-wearing and full of character. The boards are almost always worth restoring rather than covering back up. The main things to check are whether any boards are split or rotten (rare but possible), and whether the boards are securely fixed, since loose boards squeak and need to be re-fixed before sanding. We check both at the site visit. Our guide to restoring Victorian and pine floorboards covers what to expect at each stage.
How do you restore parquet when some blocks have lifted or cracked?
Lifted blocks are usually re-fixed before sanding. The cause is often a dried-out adhesive bed, which we address as part of the process. Cracked or broken blocks are replaced with matching timber sourced from reclaimed suppliers. After sanding, the floor is finished uniformly and the repairs disappear into the pattern.
Can you clean and seal quarry tiles or encaustic floor tiles?
Yes, though these older tile types need a gentler approach than modern porcelain. The process involves careful cleaning to remove old wax or sealer buildup, then an appropriate sealer for the tile type. Encaustic tiles in particular are porous and need a breathable impregnating treatment rather than a surface coating.
How long does the floor need to be out of use after restoration?
For wood floors: lightly used the day after completion, normal use after 48–72 hours, heavy furniture after five to seven days. For stone: usually walkable within a few hours of sealing. We give you a specific timeline at the quote stage and factor in your household’s needs.
Do you cover the villages around Leatherhead?
Yes. Our coverage extends to Fetcham, Great and Little Bookham, Ashtead, Oxshott and the surrounding villages. Travel within this area doesn’t affect the quote.
