Here is Angelo Flooring’s latest project at Camelot Primary School. We were asked to restore the School Hall from the dull Herringbone floor below to the fantastic Beech Herringbone floor after completion. As you look through the pictures below you will see the process used to revive and restore this wonderful floor to it’s former beauty.

Our latest project has been at the Pendley Manor Hotel in which we are completing in stages. The floors in the hotel have been in place for greater than 100 years. The first stage was The Verney Room following this the Foyer , Hallway and Stairwell. These floors required vast restoration, the floors were repaired and sanded. Our most recent project you can see below is the Corridors which we have laid a beautiful design floors incorporating Wenge wood flooring with tiling.can be seen in the pictures below, and in the Acorn Room and Willow Room we laid Oak flooring in a plank design to be in keeping with the Hotel.
Angelo Flooring’s third project at the Pendley Manor saw us creating a Design Floor consisting of Wenge wood flooring and Ivory coloured tiles in the two large Corridors. We began by removing the existing carpet as before in our previous projects and removing the existing hardboard. Following this we then plied the the two Corridors and began laying the Wenge creating a rectangular formation across the two Corridors, we then cut and laid the selected Ivory tiles into the rectangular shapes and finally sealed the entire two Corridors to complete the beautiful Design Floors.

Our second project at the Pendley Manor Hotel took us into the hotel’s Restaurant, Rose Room and Bar. As before once pulling back the existing carpets we found three beautiful design floors. However as you can see they were in need of restoration. Each floor required rough sanding to ascertain the damage to the floor and the repair needed. After all repairs had been made the floors were sealed to a fine finish and then sealed with a High Traffic seal.
In the Restaurant after rough sanding the floor we discovered several areas in need of repair as you can see below we removed the damaged panels and replaced them with new ones. After sanding the floor to a fine finish we sealed the floor with High Traffic seal as you can see below in stages. The result of the floor after completion was truely breath taking.

When we started we confirmed our designated areas we could work in and started work in the Verney Room. After completely removing the existing carpet and underlay we started the required repairs and fixing any loose panels prior to sanding. Due to the intricate inlay in the panels we had to replace with aged timber comprising of Oak, Walnut, Wenge and Mahogany. As you can see in the photos the result is magnificent.

We next moved onto the hotel foyer and main staircase, the first thing we had to do was remove the existing carpet and underlay, then we had to remove the hardboard which had been nailed into the Parquet panels underneath. It took us two days to de-nail the foyer area and due to the latex used to level any areas missing the inlaid timber the lime in the latex had eaten through the majority of the Wenge inlay. We then had to remove the entire porous Wengeinlay and replace with new which all had to be milled up by hand and fitted to the floor. After this there was an area of the floor we had not exposed prior which had been repaired at some stage with pine boards, this area had to be re-made out of Oak, Walnut and Wenge to keep the design of the surrounding floor after this the floor was sanded and sealed.

This is the repair after it has been sanded and sealed. The new wood will take 6-18 months to match the existing floor.
