Floor Sanding & Fitting Project Gallery

Project Overview

This project involved the professional installation of wood floor flooring at a property in Whitechapel, E1. The client required a quality floor that would stand up to daily use and complement their interior. Our fitting team assessed the subfloor condition, carried out any necessary preparation work, and fitted the new floor to a high standard.

Before the Work

Prior to installation, the existing floor covering was inspected and the subfloor was prepared to ensure it was flat, dry, and suitable for the new wood floor. Any existing floor covering was lifted and disposed of cleanly before the fitting work began.

Our Approach

The following services were carried out as part of this project:

• Installation Completion

The Result

The completed wood floor installation looked clean and finished throughout. Joins are tight, edges are neat, and the floor sits flat and stable. Beading and threshold strips were fitted where required to complete the job properly. The client was pleased with both the quality of the work and the appearance of the new floor.

Project Overview

This project involved the professional sanding and restoration of an existing wood floor at a property in Islington, N19. The floor had seen years of daily wear and was in need of attention to bring it back to a quality finish. Our team carried out a full assessment before starting work, checking for any boards that needed attention alongside the main sanding and finishing work.

Before the Work

Before work began, the floor showed typical signs of wear. Surface scratches, dull patches, and general finish deterioration were present. A thorough survey was carried out to plan the correct sanding depth, assess board condition, and choose the most appropriate finish for the space.

• Floorboards - Replacement (incl. materials)
• Floorboards - Sand, Buff & Lacquer
• Gap Filling

The Result

Once the sanding and finishing process was complete, the floor was transformed. The wood grain was opened up and brought back to life, the surface was smooth and even, and the new finish provided lasting protection. The client was left with a floor that looked, and performed, as good as new.

Project Overview

This wood floor project in Stockwell involved repairing a significantly worn and damaged solid wood floor before refinishing and staining it to a new colour. The floor had not been professionally maintained for many years and showed cracked boards, a broken finish, deep scratches and some surface staining. The owners had considered replacing the floor entirely but asked us to assess it first. Our view was that the structural quality of the underlying boards was still good and that a full repair and refinish would deliver an excellent result.

The Challenge

Floors in this condition present multiple challenges at once. The cracked and split boards needed replacing before any sanding could start. Some of the deeper scratches went through the full thickness of the original finish and into the wood, which meant the sanding had to go deep enough to fully remove them. The staining added another variable -- the clients wanted a darker tone than the original wood but the replacement boards needed to take the stain at the same rate as the older, more weathered boards. This required some careful preparation of the new boards to open the grain and ensure even uptake.

Our Approach

• Board assessment and replacement: Each damaged board was marked during inspection. Boards beyond saving were lifted and replaced with matching profile timber.
• Coarse sanding: An aggressive first pass removed the old finish, corrected surface height differences and removed the deep scratch damage.
• Progressive sanding: Medium and fine passes brought the surface to a smooth, even condition across all areas including the repaired sections.
• New board preparation: The replacement boards were lightly sanded by hand before staining to open the grain and help them absorb the stain evenly.
• Staining: A darker wood stain was applied to the whole floor in even strokes and worked into the grain. A second coat was applied to areas that needed more depth.
• Lacquering: Two coats of satin lacquer were applied to protect the stain and give a finish that held up to daily use.

The Result

The floor came back looking far better than the clients had anticipated. The repaired boards blended in well under the stain and the darker colour gave the room a warmer, more contemporary feel. The whole job cost a fraction of what a replacement floor would have been and delivered a more characterful result. Professional sanding, staining and refinishing in London runs between £25 and £45 per square metre, with board replacement costed separately depending on the number of boards required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you match replacement boards to an old floor?
We do our best to source a matching species and profile. Staining makes this significantly easier as the colour correction helps blend old and new boards. For floors where no stain is being applied, the match will be close but the replacement boards will be visibly newer until they age naturally.

Does staining a floor make it harder to maintain?
No. A stained and lacquered floor maintains exactly the same way as any lacquered floor. Sweep regularly, clean with a slightly damp mop and avoid harsh chemicals. The stain is sealed under the lacquer and is not affected by normal cleaning.

Is Stockwell covered by your service area?
Yes. We regularly work in Stockwell, Clapham, Brixton, Vauxhall and the surrounding areas of south London.
