Can the floor be refinished later?
Yes — most quality engineered boards can be sanded back and refinished 1-3 times depending on wear-layer thickness.
Can you supply samples?

Do you cover all of ME7?

How quickly can you survey in Gillingham?
Most Gillingham surveys are booked within 48 hours of your enquiry. We cover all of the ME7 district from our local warehouse.
