Our kitchen floor, laid with Maple veneer, was showing many signs of wear and tear over more than 15 years. There were many water marks, stains and deep scuffs etc. We asked two companies to quote and both said that the veneer was too thin for a good result from sanding it so we were about to tile over it. However Holmwood and Co. didn't hesitate. They took great care when sanding it and nowhere did they go through the veneer. The laquering was done perfectly and we were absolutely delighted with the result. Everyone seeing it thinks we have laid a new floor.
