How do we do this.
Because of our humble beginnings working as french polishers, naturally we have become master finishers and creators of innovative bespoke wood floor sanding and finishing techniques. Many of the exclusive finishes we create cannot be purchased from any other wood floor sanding companies because they lack the knowledge and experience of traditional wood sanding.
Your go-to wood floor sanding company in Cardiff
As a wood floor sanding specialist, we take a different approach to wood floor sanding because we reject the sand and varnish culture of many of our competitors and take pride in restoring the beauty of a wood floor. Our wood floor sanding recommendations are tailored to each individual wood floor, we understand that no two floors are the same and each floor is unique with its own history.
It has taken years of practice and experimentation to master these wood finishing skills, where we have control over subtle colour variations. This natural passion for innovative, natural surface creation is the fundamental reason why we have become the first port of call for wood floor sanding and finishing.
At Acorn Floor Sanding we realised an important truth
The only way to restore a wood floor, a floor that people would make a deep connection to, is to restore it using traditional methods. We understand that every wood floor has its own unique beauty. We also love to bring that out with our wood floor sanding skills. Therefore, it is important that you get the right advice when planning to restore your wood floor. We believe every wood floor is unique and has to be approached in a different way, we try to understand the condition of the wood, we ask ourselves many questions, we draw a strategy, by thinking of all aspects from the start, you get the optimal solution based on the prerequisites that lie in the wood floors current condition.and we look for the right tools and the appropriate approach, and then we let things begin.

These stages rely on our experience and being dedicated not only to the materials and craftsmanship, but also, in continuing a tradition.
We repair any type of wood floor that has been damaged or has deteriorated due to neglect or wear and tear; any irreparable timber will otherwise be replaced using reclaimed boards matching your wood floor in both colour and age. We ensure your entire wood floor has been examined and professionally repaired.
A typical wood floor restoration project could involve all of or part of the following:
-
Removal of carpets or other floor covering.
-
Removal of hardboard under carpets.
-
Identifying floorboards that require replacing.
-
Fixing down loose floorboards.
-
Up lifting of floorboards to gain access to sub-floor timber frame work for inspection
-
Repair or replace wood Joists.
-
Re-construction of crumbled brick pillars that support timber joists.
-
Up lifting of wood floors as a whole and relaying to close gaps between floorboards.
-
Replacing or repairing floorboards butchered by plumbers and electricians who have no respect for original floorboards and are only interested in gaining access under floors to install pipes or electric cables. Specialist cutting tools are required to take up old boards without damaging them; electricians and plumbers don’t seem to want to invest in the necessary equipment.

Specialised in House Skills
We have specialist in-house skills and facilities to carry out traditional wood repairs, from the simplest scratch and dent removal, removing watermarks (white cup rings). If the floor has a dent too deep to sand, we are able to fill using appropriate wood filler and colour the filler to match the existing grain pattern, floors can be repaired with missing sections replicated to match the original floor, skilfully toned to blend with the original finish on the floor.
When repairing wood floors, the aim is to achieve a repair that restores not only the appearance but also the original functionality, it is essential that a wood floor repair is carried out in the correct manner, with attention to the type of floor and the type of wood is paramount to ensure the repair is a success. Sections damaged beyond repair can be replaced with reclaimed wood
What emerges is a restored and refinished wood floor that holds the history and evidence of its past use.
The success of this process depends on the company doing the sanding; their understanding and skill is the key.
