Services
Cork Flooring Installation
We install high-density 6mm Portuguese cork tiles using a three-coat polyurethane finish. Our method creates durable, sound-insulating floors suitable for kitchens, living areas, and bedrooms. The textured 'orange-peel' finish provides slip resistance while maintaining shine. Installations typically take 3-6 days depending on area size.
Cork Floor Repairs
Our team specialises in repairing damaged cork floors without full replacement. Services include gap filling during kitchen renovations, spot repairs, and resanding severely worn surfaces. We match existing finishes to maintain aesthetic consistency while extending floor lifespan through targeted interventions.
Polyurethane Recoats
We apply maintenance coats when floors show signs of wear. The process involves cleaning, light sanding, and applying a single coat of flexible polyurethane. This service restores shine and protective qualities without full resanding. We only recoat floors we originally installed to ensure material compatibility.
Noticeboard Manufacturing
We create custom noticeboards using 6mm cork sheets on backing boards. Available in standard 600x400mm sizes with timber framing, these boards combine functionality with natural aesthetics. Options include half cork/half whiteboard configurations for versatile office or home use.
Cork Re-sanding
For heavily worn floors, we perform full resanding to bare cork. This process allows complete surface renewal, including adding new tiles where needed. After repairs, we apply three fresh coats of polyurethane to restore both protection and appearance to original condition.

Questions
What makes cork flooring eco-friendly?
Cork is harvested from tree bark without cutting down trees. Portugal's legal protections ensure sustainable harvesting every nine years, making cork a renewable resource with natural fire-retardant properties.
How long does cork floor installation take?
Most installations complete in 3-6 days depending on area size. This includes applying three coats of durable polyurethane finish that enhances longevity while maintaining natural cork characteristics.
Can existing cork floors be repaired?
Yes, we specialise in repairing and recoating existing cork floors. Our team can often save floors during kitchen renovations by preserving tiles before cabinet removal, avoiding full replacement costs.
What finish options are available?
We offer gloss, satin, or matt finishes with a textured 'orange-peel' option. The polyurethane coating provides durability while maintaining cork's natural thermal and sound insulation properties.
How do you maintain cork floors?
Regular cleaning with pH-neutral products is recommended. We suggest recoating when surfaces show wear. Our team provides maintenance services specifically for cork floors we've originally installed to ensure material compatibility.

We ordered some large cork boards for our workplace and they are perfect. They look fantastic and are exactly what we wanted. The team at Westfloors were really easy to deal with and were very helpful with delivery. Would highly recommend.

Many thanks to Mike, Mark and Lindy for resurrecting our aging cork flooring. So glad to have listened to Mike and retained this beautiful surface rather than replace. True craftsmen providing invaluable experience and professional service. Very rare but welcome commodities these days
