6  |   Cricklewood  |   June 2010

Professional floor sanding and restoration in Cricklewood, NW2. Our team restored this parquet floor using dustless sanding equipment and quality finishes. The result is a clean, smooth surface that will last for years.

Case studies

Project Overview

This project involved the professional sanding and restoration of an existing wood floor at a property in Cricklewood, NW2. 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 conducted to determine the appropriate sanding depth, assess the board condition, and select the most appropriate finish for the space.

Survey photos showing the floor condition before work:

Our Approach

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

  • Gap Filling
  • Parquet - Repairs (excl. materials)
  • Parquet - Sand, Buff & Lacquer

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does floor sanding take?
Most residential sanding jobs are completed in one to two days, depending on floor size and condition. Lacquering or oiling adds further drying and curing time, which we factor into the job schedule.

Do I need to vacate the property during sanding?
Modern dustless sanding equipment keeps dust to a minimum, but we recommend keeping pets and young children clear of the area during the work. Most clients remain in their property throughout.

How much does floor sanding cost in London?
Prices typically range from £25 to £45 per square metre depending on floor condition, finish type, and any repair work required. Gap filling and board replacement are priced separately if needed.

4  |   Lee  |   February 2009

Professional engineered wood floor sanding and restoration completed in Lee SE12 using advanced dust-controlled sanding systems and hard-wearing finishes. The worn surface was carefully renewed, leaving the floor smooth, refreshed, and protected for long-term everyday use.

Case studies

Project Overview

This project involved the professional sanding and restoration of an engineered wood floor in a residential property in Lee, SE12. Properties in this area often feature engineered flooring as a practical and stylish solution, but over time, even high-quality floors can lose their finish due to regular use.

Our team carried out a full on-site assessment, checking for:

  • Wear layer thickness and sanding suitability
  • Surface damage and finish condition
  • Any boards requiring minor attention before restoration

Condition Before Restoration

The floor showed typical signs of ageing and wear, including scratches, dull areas, and breakdown of the original protective finish. These issues are common in homes around Lee, particularly in high-traffic areas such as living rooms and hallways.

We carefully planned the sanding depth to ensure the engineered boards were restored safely without compromising their structural integrity.

Floor condition before work at Lee, SE12  Floor condition before work at Lee, SE12

Our Approach

To achieve a high-quality and durable finish, the following work was carried out:

  • Engineered wood sanding, buffing, and lacquering
  • Removal and disposal of existing carpets/laminate flooring
  • Surface preparation to ensure an even and consistent finish
  • Application of a professional-grade protective coating

Each step was completed with precision to ensure the floor not only looked better but also performed well over time.

The Final Result

Once the restoration was complete, the transformation was clear. The sanding process brought out the natural texture and detail of the engineered wood, while the new finish provided a smooth, uniform appearance.

The restored floor now offers:

  • A refreshed and modern look
  • Improved durability for everyday use
  • A clean, polished finish that enhances the overall space

The client was left with a floor that looks revitalised and is fully protected for continued use in a busy household.

This project was completed in Lee SE12, a well-connected residential area in South East London known for its mix of period homes and modern developments. We regularly carry out floor sanding and restoration work in nearby areas such as Grove Park, Blackheath, and Hither Green, where engineered flooring is a popular choice for its balance of style and practicality.
