EXPERIENCE
RESTORING THE UNIQUE RADIANCE OF WOOD

What to expect, once you’ve decided to refinish a wood floor, you may wonder what will happen next. Knowing what you to expect before, during, and after the work takes place will help ensure a high-quality job. Floors should be the last of all building works as it is almost certain that tradesmen coming in after us may otherwise damage the finish.

​

BEFORE

The rooms must be empty, and carpets and other floor coverings removed. 

This is something you may wish to do yourself, as we will need to charge for this extra service. 

We are happy to help with the odd bulky item, and will usually do so free of charge.

Before we can begin sanding there is usually preparatory work that needs to be done. 

Once that is done we will check the floors for nails and staples before proceeding with the actual floor sanding.

 

DURING

Be prepared for some noise and disruption during the sanding. 

For this we use a lagler continuous belt sander for the large surfaces and smaller hand-sanders for up against the skirting and in the corners. 

For the best result, we have to sand several times to remove all the old finishes and protective coatings and take the wood right back.

 

All our sanders are fitted with a quality dust containment attachment to minimise the spread of dust and dirt.

Dust containment systems can minimise debris, but no system is 100% Dust free.

AFTER

Once the sanding and repair work is complete, we can start on the finish. 

When it comes to finishes, we’re always aware of how architecture and light play against a wood floor. 

We bring out the movement and multiple dimensions of the wood. 

Whether you’re a searching for a signature style floor finish, or simply want to breath some new life into a wood floor.

Our finishing techniques allow the full beauty of the wood to shine through while at the same time protecting it.

We excel in every technique from repair and preparation to colour matching and custom finishing.

A story where every wooden floor is original, to enrich your environment and tell a unique and unrepeatable history of the wood

EDUCATION
DUST-LESS (Dust Free Sanding)

Disruption will be kept to an absolute minimum during Floor Sanding operations, as far as dust is concerned, as a rule of thumb: the bigger the area being sanded, the less dust there will be, as our main floor-sanding machines do most of the work and extract almost 100% of the dust, if we have to use smaller machines and edging sanders a lot there will be more dust, as these machines work differently and tend to throw out more dust, for this reason, sanding areas such as hallways and stairs tends to produce more dust, but we try our best to reduce its distribution.

​

Whilst many sanding companies claim that their machines are dust free, in reality they are not, no sanding machine currently in the market place today is totally dust free. Modern floor sanders are very efficient and get as near to this statement as possible, as we prefer to say dustless, not as most companies claim dust free (this is actually difficult to achieve when using industrial floor sanders)

​

It would be fair to say that some aspects of the job are 'dust free', others not, therefore to advertise 'dust-free floor sanding' would be dishonest and misleading.
