What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Bearwooddesign handles floor sanding and restoration work in Bristol, with reviewers consistently praising the results achieved on pine floorboards, Victorian floorboards and staircases. Simon and Gus are named repeatedly for their professionalism, with customers describing them as friendly, reliable and respectful while working in occupied homes. The team is said to talk clients through the whole process, offering advice on colour, primer and finish, and even testing samples directly onto the floor so the outcome matches expectations. Gap filling, staining, varnishing and the careful removal of old black tar from Victorian edges are among the tasks mentioned.

Several accounts highlight how little dust and mess the work generates, and how carefully the finished areas are left. Punctuality and flexibility come up often, with the team returning to resolve a snag or putting in extra days, including a bank holiday, when a job proved trickier than expected. Reviewers describe the pricing as fair for the standard of work carried out. Repeat bookings for further rooms and floors feature across the feedback, as do comments from visitors about how good the finished floors look. Charlie also appears alongside Simon on more recent jobs.

Superb service from the Bearwood Design team. Simon and his son sanded and finished our bathroom and kitchen diner. Very easy to liaise with. Priced really well for the work that was done. Everything finished to a very high standard. So helpful and tidy. Would highly recommend.

Extremely happy with Simon and his son Charlie's work restoring our hallway and front room wooden floors. They'd been previously painted black, uneven, all had gaps and divots and nail heads protruding from the floor. When the floor required additional work to get it to the standard they wanted they came back the following days and were very reliable, tidy, professional and polite throughout the work. We're thrilled with the finished floor, absolutely smooth can just glide along it. Before and after photos included.

I recently hired Bear Wood to sand the floors in my house, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From the initial consultation to the final reveal, the experience was outstanding. Simon and his team are incredibly friendly and professional. He took the time to explain the work that needed to be done, ensuring I felt comfortable and well-informed every step of the way. Simon’s expertise and attention to detail truly set Bear Wood apart. The quality of the sanding and finishing work has completely transformed my floors, giving them a fresh, natural look that has elevated the overall feel of my home. Not only was the workmanship impeccable, but the team was punctual, respectful, and maintained a clean work area during the project. I highly recommend Bear Wood to anyone in need of floor sanding services. Their blend of professionalism, craftsmanship, and exceptional customer service makes them a standout choice. Thank you, Simon, for a job well done—I will definitely be using your services again in the future!

Using bear wood to do my floors is among the best decisions I have made. They look and feel amazing. Anyone who sets foot in the house comments on how nice the floors are.

Simon and Charlie took great care when refurbishing the Floorboards in our bathroom. And we were so delighted with the results, that we are having Bearwooddesign back shortly to tend to the floor throughout the rest of our house.
