Honestly can’t thank these guys enough for the job they did on my floor! I had an absolute nightmare trying to get it sorted, the floor was an absolute state but Adam, Marcus and Alex absolutely smashed it out the park! Super friendly guys, amazing service, and the skills to match! Thanks so much guys 🙏

We are delighted with our new floor thanks to the professional job done by Ryan’s. We had an old scratched and stained floor and some new boards that needed sanding and protecting. Cal did a fantastic job and went above and beyond with the finishing. We had immediate responses to emails and great support and communication. We are really grateful that the job could be done so soon and so well. Thank you to the team!!!

I had two 60 year old oak parquet floors in front room and hallway restored by Ryans. The job was done quickly with no concerns about dust at all and both floors look amazing, such a transformation. I would certainly recommend Ryans both in terms of workmanship and Bryannna who looks after all the bookings is very professional and a pleasure to deal with.I am very pleased.

I’m a firm believer that when you buy a home you need to be able to make it feel like youAs fast as possible! The kitchen oak parquet floor was the final piece of the jigsaw. Ryan’s did a phenomenal job of bringing life back into the space which had become a little tired and dull. Now the kitchen feels warm and inviting. I would not hesitate in recommending them.

Laurence, Ash and Adam have transformed our home, so a massive thank you to them for their professionalism, hard work, high standards, efficiency, communication, coffee appreciation and great company.We had all our floorboards restored, requiring expert sanding, filling and staining.Cannot recommend enough.

James initially came out for a free consultation and then Sam came to restore our floorboards in the bedrooms upstairs. We literally don't know how Sam has done it, it's like some sort of sorcery! The floorboards were uneven, creaky, broken, cracked - you name it. They're now perfectly flat and smooth and have come out in a glorious colour - so much better than we had expected. Bryanna was incredibly responsive in getting everything organised and we're so pleased with the final result. Happy customers all round!

This is the second time we have used Ryan’s Restoration. Firstly to re-sand our floor and then more recently to replace a floorboard after taking a wall down. They managed to patch in the gap to our original stain without issue. Quick, easy and no mess! Would recommend 100 times over! Thanks All!!

Excellent company, happy to recommend Ryan's to anyone looking for professional wooden floor restoration. The only company I spoke to who came out to look at the job and discuss my requirements. Then give me a proper quote not an estimate. The work was done as requested and I'm very happy with the result. Thank you to all the team at Ryan's.

Tom Murray

We had a fairly knackered pine floor replaced by Ryans. The result kind of speaks for itself, it's really beautiful work! It was quite a transformation in such a short time, and everyone who came to the house was professional and honestly every one of them lovely people making it a stress-free experience. Would sincerely recommend to anyone who needs any work doing on their floors!

Dave Pretty

Having discovered that we had an old parquet flooring beneath a carpet in our hallway we asked James and his team to restore it. The job was not straight forward due to the fact that the floor sloped in places and there was the added problem of heating pipes running beneath it.We are very pleased with the quality and craftmanship of the work and the clean and professional manner in which it was carried out. The staff are very pleasant and attentive.I would recommend Ryans to any of my friends or family.

I moved to my new property and the prospect of dealing with an old and damaged wood floor felt overwhelming. I found Ryans on a google search and after seeing all the positive coments I decided to ask for a quote. I was so impressed by their quick and informative response that I decided to hire their services. I now have a stunning new floor that I can be proud of thanks to the incredibly professional and reliable team that I met during the few days it took to finish the job. I would definitely recomend Ryans to anyone considering renovating/restoring their floors

Ryan's Restoration sanded, polished and treated three floors of old engineered oak in our home. The results were good and better than expectations. After a couple of months the floors are standing up well to wear and tear. The two people attending the property were polite and considerate, and completed the job on time. Our only "complaint" was that we had to remind the company to send us a bill.

I cannot recommend Ryans highly enough. They were incredibly patient with us in trying to find the right colour for our flooring in the dining room and lounge when we were really struggling and tested numerous different stains for us. The quality of the finish was top quality. All of the team were friendly, professional, incredibly patient and accommodating throughout. We would definitely use them again and would not hesitate in recommending Ryans!

The finished product is beyond our expectations and we would not hesitate to recommend Ryan's. Nothing was too much trouble and they certainly went the extra mile for us.

The oak flooring over the whole house is so beautiful that it’s taken our home to another level of elegance!Ryans we’re prompt every day and extremely professional in every way! A real pleasure to work with. Well done to James’s whole gang.Highly recommended.

Sarah Symons

1642527072

Well, what can I say other than use Ryan's because they are amazing! They took on my solid oak floor refurbishment in four ground floor rooms when no-one else would and completely transformed it - it looks like a brand new floor! Very little mess despite the sanding as the machine sucks up 95% of the dust. Always left the site clean and tidy. Very professional, polite and friendly. They also laid a brand new solid oak in my large sitting room to match the existing refurbished floor and did a magnificent job. Cost also very competitive. I am over the moon with my wooden floors now. Great admin support from Bryanna too - always very helpful and polite.

Amelia Kirby

Absolutely amazing service. All of the men working for Ryan’s were polite, professional and courteous (one even spotted me coming down the street with my shopping and insisted on carrying it for me!). The floors they re-sanded look absolutely incredible and the communication during the job was really really good. Despite my wonky old house throwing up some issues, everything was tackled brilliantly and they let me know exactly what they were doing at each point. I think the price for the transformation of the house was an absolute bargain and am delighted. Fantastic!

Estela Llanos

1638359229

We contacted Ryan's Restoration as we had a little accident on the wooden flooring that needed repairing urgently as we were guests at the place where we were staying at. We spoke with James who understood the urgency of the matter and came within a few hours (fitting us within jobs, THANK YOU James!), repaired the wood and gave me advice on how to look after it in the following hours, kindly giving me some of the product to apply it myself on the floor.I would highly recommend their professionalism, kindness and friendliness :)

JP J
