Budget-Friendly Solutions:

We provide restoration options for various budgets, understanding that a higher investment ensures a longer-lasting result. The cost depends on factors such as the floor’s current condition, repair requirements, evenness, restoration history, and desired finish.

Furniture Moving Assistance:

Clearing rooms of furniture before work begins is essential, but you don’t have to strain yourself. Our team can handle furniture and appliance relocation, ensuring no damage to your newly restored floor.

We cater to various wooden flooring types, ages, and styles in UK properties. When matching a specific period or style, we source the right timber from a national network of reclaimed wood suppliers.

Our dedication to excellence is evident in our projects, like the central London office with 1930s parquet blocks. We sourced matching blocks from a demolished mews building in Nottingham, cutting and fitting them precisely. The company’s stunning period floor complemented its contemporary glass-partitioned offices after applying three coats of hard wax oil.

Hardwood Floor Sanding London

The Hardwood Floor Sanding Process:

Step 1: Assess the condition of your floors

Before diving into the sanding process, it’s crucial to assess the state of your hardwood floors. Look for deep scratches, dents, or gouges that may require additional repairs before sanding. If your floors have been sanded multiple times before, they may be too thin to withstand another sanding. In these cases, it’s best to consult with a professional.

Step 2: Gather your materials and prepare the area.

For a successful sanding project, you’ll need the following materials and tools:

  • Drum or belt sander
  • Edger
  • Sanding pads or discs in various grits (typically 36, 60, 80, and 100)
  • Vacuum cleaner
  • Protective gear (goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask)
  • Plastic sheeting and painter’s tape (to protect adjacent areas from dust)

Before you begin, clear the room of all furniture and cover any vents, windows, and doorways with plastic sheeting to minimise the spread of dust.

Step 3: Begin sanding.

Start by attaching the coarsest-grit sandpaper (usually 36-grit) to your drum or belt sander. Beginning in one corner of the room, move the sander with the grain of the wood, making sure not to linger in any one spot for too long. Repeat this process with each progressively finer grit of sandpaper until you’ve reached the desired smoothness. Remember to vacuum the floor thoroughly between each grit to remove dust and debris.

Step 4: Sand the edges.

Use an edger with the same grit progression as the main floor to sand the areas close to walls and other tight spaces. Take care not to gouge the floor or create uneven spots, as this can be difficult to correct.

Step 5: Fine sanding and buffing

After completing the initial sanding, use a fine-grit sandpaper (usually 100-grit) to hand-sand any areas the machines couldn’t reach. Finally, buff the entire floor with a floor buffer or orbital sander using a fine sanding screen or pad to ensure an even, smooth surface.

Step 6: Clean-up

Vacuum the floor thoroughly to remove all dust and debris. Wipe down the floor with a damp cloth or tack cloth to ensure a dust-free surface.

Step 7: Apply a finish.

Once your hardwood floors are sanded and cleaned, it’s time to apply a finish. There are various types of finishes available, including oil-based polyurethane, water-based polyurethane, and penetrating oils. Each type of finish offers its own benefits and a unique look, so it’s important to choose the one that best suits your needs and preferences.

Before applying the finish, make sure the room is well-ventilated and free of dust. Apply the finish according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically using a brush or applicator pad. Allow the finish to dry for the recommended time before applying additional coats. Most hardwood floors require two to three coats of finish for optimal protection and durability.

Step 8: Allow the floor to cure.

After applying the final coat of finish, it’s essential to allow the floor to cure for the recommended amount of time. This can range from a few days to a week, depending on the type of finish used. During this time, it’s important to keep foot traffic to a minimum and avoid placing furniture or rugs on the floor. Once the finish has fully cured, you can return your furniture and rugs to their original positions.
