Restoring wooden floors

Wooden floor restoration can be one of the most satisfying and rewarding aspects of renovating a house, stately home, hotel or other building. A natural wood floor not only looks good, but it is hard wearing and very long lasting.

If your original wooden flooring appears to be badly damaged, Strip Wooden Flooring are capable of bringing it back to its former glory. If necessary, we can replace damaged sections, or in fact whole floors, using reclaimed timber to keep the desired character of aged wood. Even modern homes can be given a touch of timeless character by laying a genuine wooden floor on top of your existing one.

The amount of renovation and the techniques used will vary depending on the condition of your existing floor, but in short the steps required are as follows:

• Firstly we will identify any floorboards that need replacing due to either dry or wet rot or damaged by other means.
  
  
• Then, we will re-align or remove and replace any damaged timbers and ensure that any proud nails, loose floorboards are fixed.
  
  
• Any gaps between floorboards are filled using the original sawdust and a bonding agent is used to keep the colours totally natural. This process is only suitable for gaps of 5mm or less.
  
  
• After this, several stages of careful sanding ensure that the floor is restored to its orginal quality and given a smooth finish.
  
  
• Once the sanding has been done, there are several options for staining and sealing the floor, depending on your personal preference and the expected use of the area.
