What was the job?
The floors in a South Croydon property were worn, discoloured and loose. We were asked to restore them to former glory.
Challenges
The surface was a little uneven because some boards were not as secure as they should have been. The hearth also presented an issue because boards were loose there and we needed to fit new boards. Those new boards had to match old ones to avoid making our work look obvious.
How the floor looked before we started work
What we did
All floorboards were checked to see which ones needed to be secured down and gaps were identified then fixed. We restitched the hearth, matching wood to the existing pattern.
With level surfaces, we could sand the surfaces and reach the desired lighter colour which was underneath the untreated wood. After sanding, buffing and vacuuming, we lacquered the floors.
The results
The floors are now a lot lighter and more welcoming. With treated floors, the home looks cleaner overall. The front room has a full wooden floor now, the underneath no longer exposed at the hearth.
We provide virtually dust-free sanding with our continuous belt machinery with mobile extraction units, giving you a safer environment for your family.
This organic finish not only adds beauty to your home but also has exceptional water-repellent characteristics, making it easier to clean and maintain.
We offer a full assessment of your wooden floors to determine what repairs are needed to provide the perfect working surface for the later stages of sanding, staining and sealing.
