Floor sanding and restoration in Willenhall and Portobello. Original floorboards and parquet sanded, gaps dealt with and finished in oil or lacquer.
Under the carpet in plenty of Willenhall houses there are original pine boards. Some have even a parquet floor. Both only need sanding back to look good again. The job starts with punching down nails and fixing loose boards. Then come several passes with the sander, from coarse to fine. The edges are done separately. Gaps between boards can be filled with slivers of timber, which stays flexible better than filler.
The finish is then chosen for the room. A hard-wearing lacquer suits a hall. An oil that is easy to touch up suits a living room.
In Willenhall, many terraces and 1930s semis have boards under the carpet that have not been seen for decades. The cost depends on the size of the room, the condition of the boards, how many gaps need filling and the finish chosen. A photo of the boards under a lifted carpet corner is the best way to get it quoted.
Nails punched below the surface and loose boards screwed down before sanding.
Coarse to fine passes so the floor is flat and smooth, with edges and corners done by hand machine.
Timber slivers glued into wider gaps, keeping the draughts out.
Finished to suit the room and how much wear it takes.
A stain applied before the finish if you want a darker or lighter tone.
Split or rotten boards swapped for reclaimed timber to match.
A photo of the boards under a lifted corner of carpet, and one of any gaps or stains. Tell us the room size. If there is parquet, say so. That lets us plan the sanding stages.
The room is cleared and the boards made safe. The sander goes over them in stages, then the edges are done. The finish goes on in coats with drying time between. Furniture goes back once it has hardened.
Lift a corner of carpet and send a photo. Boards with a few stains and old paint usually come back well.
Modern sanders collect most of the dust, and rooms are sealed off, but some always escapes. We clean as we go.
Yes, once any loose blocks are re-stuck. Parquet often comes up better than anyone expects.
Usually one to two days including finishing, with drying time before furniture goes back.
Yes, the room being done is sealed off and the rest of the house stays usable.
The size of the room, the condition of the boards, how many gaps need filling and which finish you choose. Oil and lacquer differ in time and in coats. Damaged boards that need replacing add to the job.
Lacquer is harder wearing and suits a hall or a busy room. Oil is easier to touch up and gives a more natural look. We explain the choice for each room before the finish goes on.
