Woodside Park grew up largely through the Edwardian era and into the 1920s, with solid semis and terraces lining the streets around the Northern line station. Original floorboards and solid wood are common throughout, with parquet in a fair number of the older houses and more engineered wood turning up in newer flats and conversions.
Parquet Flooring
Woodside Park's period houses often have parquet in the reception rooms, and it needs a different sanding approach from straight boards entirely. The blocks alternate direction across the floor, so running a machine straight over the whole surface tears the grain wherever it's working against it. Our parquet floor sanding service works the pattern block by block for a level, even finish.
Original Floorboards and Solid Wood
Pine boards and solid wood flooring under old carpet turn up regularly in N12's older housing, often in better condition than expected once uncovered. Before sanding, we check for loose sections and any fixings that have worked proud of the surface. Solid wood floor sanding generally has good scope for repeated restoration, though previous sanding history's always worth confirming first.
Engineered Wood
With engineered flooring, the deciding factor is the thickness of the real-wood layer on top, not how the floor looks. A board that's already been sanded once might not have material to spare for another full pass. Our engineered wood sanding service checks this properly before recommending anything.
Repairs Before Sanding Starts
A loose board or a lifting parquet block doesn't get fixed by sanding over it — it just looks tidier while the problem's still there. We handle this first, through our wood floor repair services, before finishing begins.
Gap filling follows the same logic — it only holds once the floor's genuinely stopped moving. Filled too early, gaps tend to reopen.
Staining and Finish
Colour's your call entirely. Bring the natural tone back, or go with something different — we test any stain on your actual sanded floor first, since the result depends on wood species and age. For the protective coat, we work with Bona, Junckers, Osmo and Loba across lacquer, oil and hardwax oil, chosen around how the room's actually used rather than a fixed default.
What It Costs
Sanding, buffing and finishing start from £25 per m², lacquer or oil, according to our price guide. The final total depends on repairs, gap filling, staining, stairs and furniture moving. A free site visit gets you an accurate figure — call 020 8830 9782.

Most of our Woodside Park work is residential, though we also cover offices and similar commercial spaces in the surrounding area, where access and downtime need factoring in alongside the flooring itself. Our commercial floor sanding service covers both.
