Who this is for

Care-home managers and owners, hotel general managers and maintenance leads, and estates teams responsible for keeping premises running while floors are restored.

What matters most on a commercial floor

We survey the job around the things that actually affect a working premises:

  • working in an occupied building - phased, sealed-off zones
  • dust control for frail residents (COPD) and hotel guests
  • low-odour, low-VOC finishes so no-one moves out
  • non-slip, matt finishes for frames, wheelchairs and falls prevention
  • CQC infection-control, RAMS, DBS and insurance
  • sealing floors against spills and incontinence
  • reopening lobbies and restaurants fast after overnight work

Typical jobs we take on

  • care-home wings sanded room-by-room behind negative-air pods
  • dining room and corridor floors sealed against spills and incontinence
  • hotel lobby and staircase refinished overnight (22:00-06:00)
  • function-room and ballroom parquet restored in phases
  • hotel bar and corridor floors re-lacquered for heels and dragged furniture

Commercial finishes we specify

Hard-wearing, fast-cure systems chosen for footfall and reopening times:

  • Bona Traffic HD (silk matt)
  • low-VOC water-borne lacquer and hardwax oil
  • matt, non-reflective anti-slip finish (Pendulum PTV 36+)
  • fully sealed, impervious finishes for dining rooms and corridors

Minimal downtime, honest advice

We work out of hours, overnight and at weekends where it saves you a trading day, and we are straight about dust (managed, not magically 100% dust-free) and about cure times. Ask for a fixed written quote from a site survey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you sand the floors in our care home while residents are still living there?
Yes. We phase the work room-by-room or wing-by-wing with sealed-off, access-controlled zones - signage, sealed doors and negative-air pods - so residents stay in and the home keeps running. Whole-wing jobs are often phased over weekends, and fire-escape routes and doors are kept clear throughout.
How do you keep dust down for frail residents with breathing problems?
We use H-Class HEPA extraction and negative-air units to keep airborne dust down for frail residents - critical where people have COPD or breathing difficulties. We're honest that it's not 100% dust-free, so rooms are contained and protected, and residents are kept out of the sealed work zone.
Can you use a low-odour finish so we don't have to move residents out?
Yes. Water-borne low-VOC lacquers and hardwax oils are odour-controlled, so residents can stay in during curing and the smell won't drift into bedrooms. Low-odour waterborne systems are exactly why care homes and hotels choose them over solvent-based finishes.
What non-slip finish is best for residents using frames and wheelchairs?
A matt, non-reflective, slip-resistant finish (Pendulum PTV 36+) is safest for walking frames and wheelchairs and for falls prevention. Crucially it avoids shiny, glossy surfaces that residents with dementia can mistake for a wet or slippery floor. We can specify a guaranteed wet-slip rating for corridors and dining rooms.
Does your work meet CQC infection-control and compliance requirements?
Yes. Negative-pressure containment and hygiene control meet CQC (Regulation 15) and infection-control expectations. We supply RAMS, public liability insurance and DBS-checked operatives, and keep fire-escape routes and fire doors clear and usable while we work. A fully sealed finish also makes the floor waterproof against spills and incontinence and easy to keep clean.
Can you sand our hotel lobby and restaurant without closing to guests?
Yes. We work zone-by-zone on night shifts (typically 22:00-06:00) with barriered areas so the hotel stays fully operational, phasing around your occupancy calendar, weddings and events. With fast-cure Bona Traffic HD the final coat goes down by around 03:00-04:30 and is de-masked and handed over by 06:00, ready for breakfast service with no smell affecting bookings.
