About us
A small restoration company, run by people who still do the work.
Hemmings Floor Restoration Ltd works on timber, parquet, natural stone and heritage tile floors across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and the wider East Midlands.
Where the company came from
Hemmings Floor Restoration Ltd was founded by Paul Hemmings, who began his career training under his father for five years. His father had already spent more than twenty years as a tiling specialist working in luxury homes, and that grounding in stone, tile and setting out is where the company started.
Paul then built his own business in the carpet cleaning industry, and in the early 2000s began offering prestige floor restoration alongside it. The two halves have stayed together ever since: specialist cleaning knowledge, applied to floors that need restoration rather than replacement.
The company continues to invest in training, machinery and finishing products. The method is consistent — survey the floor, repair what needs repairing, then sand, clean and finish to suit the material.
“My aim is to always be at the forefront of innovative cleaning and restoration methods.”
Heritage recognition · 2025
Award-winning craftsmanship, recognised in Derbyshire.
Hemmings contributed specialist restoration of original timber floors at The Heanor Hub, formerly Heanor Grammar School. The wider redevelopment was recognised at the Derbyshire Historic Buildings Trust Architecture Awards 2025, including a win in the Building Crafts Team category.
Recognition for the wider craft team reflects the care needed to bring heritage buildings back into use while protecting the character of their original floors.

Four things that decide whether a restored floor still looks right in five years.
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.
Craft before speed
Every floor is surveyed first. We work to the material in front of us rather than to a template.
Sanding with dust extraction
Dust-extraction equipment helps reduce airborne dust during sanding.
Honest, transparent pricing
We explain the proposed work and provide a quotation for approval before any restoration begins.
Aftercare that protects the finish
We leave you with the right advice and products so the result holds up for years, not months.
Happy to talk it through before you commit.
