PARQUETRY
RESTORATION
Parquetry floors — block, finger, or herringbone — are a heritage feature worth preserving. Our specialist sanding restores their original beauty with care.
Parquetry Restoration Specialists
Parquetry — whether block, finger, or herringbone pattern — can be sanded and refinished just like standard tongue-and-groove flooring. The process requires particular care due to the many grain directions in a parquetry floor, but the result can be striking, restoring a heritage feature to its original beauty.
We have extensive experience with parquetry restoration across Sydney's period homes, from Federation and Californian bungalows to Art Deco apartments. Whether your parquetry is hidden under carpet or simply needs refreshing, we can bring it back to life.

Our Process
01
Pattern Assessment
We identify the parquetry pattern, assess block condition, and check for loose or missing blocks.
02
Repair & Replacement
Loose blocks are re-adhered and damaged blocks are replaced with matching timber.
03
Multi-Grit Sanding
Careful sanding from coarse to fine, accounting for the different grain directions across the pattern.
04
Gap Treatment
Gaps between blocks are cleaned and filled to create a uniform appearance.
05
Coating
Three coats of polyurethane protect the restored parquetry and enhance its natural character.
