Floor Sanding - Floor Varnishing - Gap filling: Domestic and Commercial Customers

› Floor Sanding...

Preparation:

Our Service includes lifting of carpets, removing nails, pins, carpet gripper and counter punching any extruding nails; checking that all boards are secure and joists are solid.

Repairs:

Boards can be repaired or replaced using reclaimed timber to match existing floor where possible. Concrete hearths can be removed and replaced with reclaimed boards if applicable.

Gap Filling:

We can fill the gaps between the boards using fine sawdust from your floor, which we mix with a Lecol filler. If gaps are wider than 7mm we may use re-claimed splinters of wood to wedge into the gaps and then sand down to level.

Sanding:

The first sanding is achieved using a course abrasive belt to remove dirt and scratches, and then continues until the floor is level, totally smooth and clean.

Buffing:

When the sanding is complete we use a buffing machine to remove any remaining marks and scratches.

Finishing:

The floor is now ready for lacquering, oiling or staining to your choice. We use only top quality Bona range products: which are low odour, slip resistant and have drying time of approx 2/3 hours, depending on which finish you choose.
