Sanding & Staining Original Pine Floorboards

Before the works...

The pine floorboards in this Brentford house was looking tired and in urgent need of renovation. During our initial survey, we did a thorough inspection of the wooden floors & discussed with the client all available choices, followed by comprehensive quote with our floor restoration & repairs pricing for floorboards.

Our client has decided to go for floor sanding, gap filling and staining of pine floorboards and finishing the floors in matt Lacquer.

How we completed this pine floorboards restoration...

The thickness of the pine floorboards used for residential properties is approx. 20 mm when laid. Pine timber shrinks with the time and also becomes thinner every time the floors are restored. The minimal thickness, after which floorboards cannot be restored any more is approx. 15 mm.

At this stage our team will inspect carefully the thickness of the floorboards and also advise if any further repairs or floorboards replacement may be recommended prior to the floor renovation works.

During the floorboards restoration, the original floors are going through a process of levelling with coarser grids, finishing with finer grids, and finally buffing, prior to sealing & between the coats, for outstanding results.

Our works included approx. pine floorboards floor restoration and finishing in matt lacquer. The sealing went down with 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of Bona Mega lacquer.

We also carried out gap filling as part of the floor restoration process. We aim to apply resin filler in the second half of the working day, so it settles properly overnight and we can repeat it on the following day, if required. The putty is after that removed by next stages of the floor sanding process in medium grids.

A number of colour samples were provided on a sanded surface for the client to review and approve, prior to application of the colour and finishing the floors. The client decided to go with floorboards staining in jacobean oak colour.

Overall, this floor sanding project in Brentford was completed as scheduled and to the satisfaction of the client.
