Floorboards Renovation with Repairs and Fireplace Heart Extension

Our next project involved not just the repair of floor boards but also entirely replacing one ugly patch on the floor where a fireplace once had been.  Generally, it is entirely possible to salvage many of the old floor boards as long as they have not been eaten by worms, rotten or too thin to walk upon. We saved what we could. The pieces we found unsuitable, we simply replaced with similar quality floor boards.

Once the repairs were completed, we sanded the floor, removed the old finish, filled any gaps left and finally buffed everything up to make sure the surface is perfectly smooth. We proposed to cover the top with a lacquer which will not only provide a good level of protection but also require little maintenance. Our client agreed and after four coats of Junckers HP Commercial, there was little left to remind of the tired and non-uniform looking floor we found upon our arrival.  Three days was all it took to make the difference between old and brand new looking surface.
