Floors we didn’t fit are welcome too

You don’t need to have had your floor installed, sanded or restored by Evo to join the aftercare package. We simply start with a qualifying visit to assess its condition, the finish and how it’s been looked after. As long as it’s in good order, we’ll bring it onto the programme and keep it looking its best from there.
