Floor Sanding Services

A floor sanding service is a process of many stages

, starting from arranging an on-site visit, quotation and getting the time booked.

Preparation:-

Preparation of floors for sanding firstly involves lifting carpets or moving furniture if required and is time consuming.

Wood repair:-

Before a floor can be sanded, it should be checked for damaged and loose boards and, followed by nailing down, replacing broken boards or fixing loose ones. All damaged boards should be replaced with real reclaimed floor boards in order to keep the natural patina consistent.

Sanding:-

The first stage is sanding with rough grit floor sanding belt which removes dirt and all scratches. Sanding continues with different grit paper, gradually getting finer until the floor is totally even and smooth.

Pine floorboards:-

Where pre existing floorboards in older houses exist, it is the Victorian boards that are the most usual type of wooden flooring and they can be found hidden under carpets in many British homes. If you renovate the floor for the first time, heavy floor sanding is needed because of many years staining and unevenness. However, you should not normally need to replace the boards, just repair, unless there is any particular water or rot damage.

Hardwood flooring:-

Where hardwood flooring is found, oak in the most common type, but during years of experience we have also restored different species as teak, maple and walnut.

Parquet flooring:-

This always required an extra effort in order to get a stunning result but the techniques and equipments remain the same.

Gap filling:-

This process uses clean, fine sawdust from the floor, mixed with resin to fill in the separations (gaps) between the boards. If gaps are wider than 7mm reclaimed slivers of wood can be used and then sand down again.

Staining and varnishing is the last stage of the process. There are many finishes from our sample boards. If lacquer is required, three coats will usually be applied or two if an oiled finish is chosen.
