A Family Craft, Since 1994

Daryn & Nicki Stead — quietly restoring the finest floors in Norfolk.

Norfolk Floor Sanding is run by Daryn and Nicki Stead from their home in Costessey, Norwich. Daryn began French-polishing in 1994, expanded into floor sanding shortly after, and has spent the last three decades perfecting both crafts.

Today the workshop's reach is extraordinary. The same hands that bring a tired Norwich parquet back to life have restored floors aboard Cunard's Queen Mary II, the Queen Victoria, and inside Sofitel, Hilton DoubleTree and Park Plaza properties. Every floor — domestic or commercial — is finished by the same family team.

★★★★★
"Daryn and his team were absolutely brilliant. Very punctual and reliable. I was amazed how little dust was created, barely any. The floors look and feel amazing, like brand new and all at a very reasonable price. Could not recommend highly enough. If you want the job done right give DMS a call."
Jamie Johnston ✓ Customer
★★★★★
"Whilst renovating our new home, we uncovered a glorious parquet floor in our hallway. Daryn carried out the restoration and the repair work was superbly done — it looks as if it was newly laid. We were also pleased with the materials they used; the lacquer was water based and a better choice for us as a family and for the environment."
Emma Muttitt, Norfolk ✓ Customer
★★★★★
"Prompt response to my enquiry for a quote to bring our walnut kitchen worktops back to life. Despite some heavy markings and stains Daryn has completely transformed them — they are looking like new. He also posted me some hardwax oil and cleaning spray to keep the worktops in top condition, an excellent added touch."
Neil Baxter ✓ Customer
★★★★★
"Very happy with my recently sanded and re-lacquered kitchen worktop which has already had lots of positive comments from friends and family. Daryn was communicative throughout and consistently came across as a really nice and trustworthy guy. Next to zero dust or mess anywhere throughout the whole process."
Joe Dance, Norwich ✓ Customer
★★★★★
"Daryn French polished all the oak doors in our recently finished house. He turned up when he promised and left the house tidier than he found it. We are extremely happy with the results. I will be recommending him to our friends."
David Smith ✓ Customer
★★★★★
"Norfolk Floor Sanding worked quickly and are extremely conscientious in their work. We would not hesitate to recommend them for any work that you require to be done in your home. The end result is far better than we ever expected — a glorious original floor brought back to life."
