Floor Sanding
Our floor sanding service restores wooden floors using advanced, virtually dust-free technology. We handle all wood types, from antique pine to modern oak, ensuring minimal disruption while achieving smooth, even surfaces. Clients appreciate our precision in preparing floors for staining or sealing, with many noting the dramatic visual improvements in testimonials.
Staining
We offer custom staining solutions to achieve desired aesthetics, from natural tones to bold colours. Using light-fast dyes, we ensure even application that highlights wood grain. Over 70% of our projects involve staining, demonstrating our expertise in overcoming challenges like blotchiness on difficult woods such as maple and beech.
Gap Filling
Our gap filling service addresses floorboard separations using flexible mastic solutions that withstand seasonal movement. While acknowledging limitations with pine's natural movement, we employ Bona gap fill and similar products that can be resanded. Clients praise our efforts to maximise filler retention despite environmental factors.
Hard Wax Application
We apply hard wax oils that enhance wood's natural beauty while requiring regular maintenance. This finish option brings out the grain's lustre, particularly effective on hardwoods. Customers appreciate the tactile quality and visual depth achieved, though we ensure clear communication about ongoing care requirements.
Stair Restoration
Specialist stair sanding and sealing services revive old pine or oak staircases. Using trio orbital sanders, we carefully restore treads and risers to like-new condition. Testimonials specifically mention the transformation of previously worn staircases, with clients expressing surprise at the renewed structural integrity and appearance.
Questions
Do you offer free site visits and quotes?
Yes, we provide free site visits and no-obligation quotes between 9:30 am and 3:30 pm Monday to Friday, with evening and weekend appointments available on request.
Is the floor sanding process dust-free?
We use 95% dust-free machines for most of the process, though some fine dust may occur during final sanding. We thoroughly clean all residual dust before applying finishes.
Can you fill gaps in pine floorboards?
We can fill gaps using flexible mastic solutions that accommodate seasonal movement. While we cannot guarantee permanent results due to pine's natural characteristics, we employ methods to maximise filler retention.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash or BACS payments. For single-day jobs, full payment is required on completion. Multi-day projects require a 30% deposit at least four days prior to commencement.
Do you work on staircases?
Yes, we specialise in staircase restoration including sanding, staining, and sealing. Our team handles repairs and complete refurbishments of both treads and risers.
Can you stain difficult wood types?
We successfully stain challenging woods like maple and beech, though these require specialist techniques to prevent blotchiness. Our expertise in this area is demonstrated through numerous successful projects documented in our gallery.
