Wood Floor Sanding & Refinishing

Our job in this house was something, our sanders are familiar with – an old wooden floor that was in urgent need of thorough restoration. What we’ve done:

• Sanding the old surface
• Filling the gaps
• Buffing with finer grit
• Staining (this included samples on the sanded surface for client approval before application)
• Sealing with a hardwearing finish
• Additional fireplace heart removal and extend of the existing flooring.

The job started with stripping off the old and damaged surface. This process was done without any unexpected complications. Then we had to fix the huge gaps between the boards. Usually, we deal with them by using mix from sawdust and resin filler but this method is working only for gaps up to 4 mm.  In this case, we had to supply wood strips cut from seasoned pine so they can match the colour of the sanded wood. Similar mature pine floorboards were also used to extend the existing flooring after the fireplace heart was removed.

For the buffing process, our fitters used orbital sander from Bona, which smoothened the surface and prepared it for the finishing. The stain our clients wanted to be in medium shades. For the last step of the process, they decided to trust our knowledge and experience by choosing ‘Osmo Polyx Hardwax-Oil’, which we applied in 2 coats. Our hardworking team did this job only for a day. The skills, efficiency and the attitude displayed by them, made the family leave very positive feedback.
