Q.
You really are able to sand floors
without mess and dust?
A. Absolutely!!
our working practice has been perfected to deliver dust
free results. No dust on curtains, no dust on furniture,
no dust in the air, that's guaranteed! also we
always use y2010 compliant, no odour varnish.
Q.
SOME WOOD
FLOORS WE SEE HAVE AN UGLY YELLOW SHEEN.
A. That
effect is usually caused by a cheap varnish, we
never use the the type of cut price finish that
can cause that effect. Our manager will and show
you a range of top quality finishes that work
well on your floor. He will also bring samples
of your floor type with a range of finishes, to
help you decide. |
Remember,
your wood floor is the backdrop to everthing in
the room, why not have a fuss free, top quality,
professional job done, while you take it easy. |
Q.
HOW MUCH DOES
YOUR SERVICE COST, I HAVE HEARD REFINISHING FLOORS COST
A LOT?
A.
Sanding an existing floor is the cheapest option! Ring
Charles or Kevin on 01237 358176 and
you will be amazed at what good value it can be. We
are usually able to give you an accurate idea of the
cost over the phone, and discuss the choice of finish
etc. We will always give you a written fixed price quote
before starting any work; this quote is completely free
of charge as is the manager's site visit and skilled
advice. Professional sanding and refinishing a wooden
floor costs less than a mid range carpet.

Q.
When
I lifted the carpet my floorboards looked grey,
and there was a lot of paint splashes and some
boards were cracked, can this floor be sanded?
A. Don't
worry! Most floors are in a similar condition,
wood floors have the results of all types of
building activity including decorating on them
and often have been damaged by tradesmen by
cutting into them.We will repair the boards
that are damaged, and take off the layer of
damaged wood exposing the amazing floor underneath,
most floors only require minor repairs
and that is included in the overall price per
metre. |
Q.
How long does the job
take?
A.
Depends on the amount of rooms, usually 2 days
for 1 or 2 rooms and 3 or 4 days for a whole house.
Q.
I have heard
a lot of different replies to my question about gap
filling, some companies I asked say it is a good idea
while others are completely against the idea!?
A. Successful
gap filling is one of the skilled parts of floor finishing-
a lot of firms can't or won't do this, or sometimes
they use a fast setting gel resin mixed with saw dust
which usually falls out in a matter of months. The most
successful way despite taking longer is,(for gaps less
than 4mm or so), to use a mixture of polyvinyl resin
and sawdust, (we use the wood workers special resin),
the other trick is to do 2 coats of filler,-the first
fill primes the side of the board, and then the second
fill gets a good grip on the sides. For gaps larger
than 4mm slivers of wood glued on both sides and carefully
hammered in, works a treat,- we use old pine slivers
so they blend in well , after planing down the floor
is ready to sand.
