Why Hemmings
Craft-led restoration, run by someone who still does the work.
Hemmings Floor Restoration Ltd was founded by Paul Hemmings, who began his career training under his father — a tiling specialist with over twenty years working in luxury homes. That grounding in tile and stone, followed by years in specialist cleaning and restoration, still shapes how the company works today: survey first, repair properly, then finish the floor to the material rather than to a template.
From original parquet and timber to natural stone and heritage tiles, every floor needs an approach suited to its material, condition and the result the customer wants to achieve.
01
Craft before speed
Every floor is surveyed first. We work to the material in front of us rather than to a template.
02
Sanding with dust extraction
Dust-extraction equipment helps reduce airborne dust during sanding.
03
Honest, transparent pricing
We explain the proposed work and provide a quotation for approval before any restoration begins.
04
Aftercare that protects the finish
We leave you with the right advice and products so the result holds up for years, not months.
The process
From first enquiry to aftercare, in six clear steps.
No surprise costs and no vague promises — you know what happens at each stage before work begins.

Enquiry
Tell us about the floor, choose an approximate area size and send photographs if you have them.

Assessment
We review the floor and, where needed, arrange a site survey to discuss suitable options.
- Step 03
Quotation
We explain the proposed work and provide a quotation for approval before work begins.
