Sanding
In all our floor repair projects, we prioritize the use of state-of-the-art belt sanding machines, which have been specifically designed to deliver outstanding results. Unlike traditional drum machines, our belt sanders minimize the occurrence of judder marks, ensuring a smoother, more refined finish on your floors. This technology not only enhances the quality of our work but also helps maintain the aesthetic appeal of your space.
To achieve the highest possible standard for our finished floors, we always employ a buffing machine after sanding. This essential step adds a final polish and luster, elevating the overall appearance of the flooring and enhancing its longevity. Our commitment to details means that we don’t just sand; we strive to create a flawless finish that you can be proud of.
Furthermore, we understand that dust and debris can be a significant concern during any renovation process. That’s why all our sanding equipment is equipped with excellent dust collection capabilities. These machines can be seamlessly connected to our advanced dust control systems. This innovative setup significantly reduces the spread of dust throughout the premises, minimizing the impact of our work on your environment.
The implementation of these cutting-edge control systems translates to a renovation process that is not only highly efficient but also significantly less intrusive. With our approach, the need for extensive clean-up is virtually eliminated, allowing you to maintain a clean and comfortable living or working space while we carry out our essential floor repair and finishing services.

Gap Filling
Filling the gaps between floorboards is an effective and valuable technique for enhancing the overall appearance of your flooring while simultaneously reducing the amount of draughts that can seep through. This process not only contributes to the aesthetic appeal of your floor but also creates a more comfortable living environment by keeping the cold air out and the warmth in.
There are two primary methods employed to fill gaps between floorboards, each tailored to address different size gaps:
- For gaps up to 3mm: We utilize a specially formulated resin that is skillfully mixed with fine dust collected from the floorboards. This method ensures a seamless color match, allowing the filler to blend seamlessly with the existing wood tones. The resin hardens to form a durable and long-lasting seal, effectively reducing both the visibility of the gaps and the potential for draughts. The end result is a floor that not only looks more polished and finished but also feels warmer underfoot.
- For wider gaps: In cases where the gaps exceed 3mm, we employ a different technique that involves the use of small slithers of wood, which are carefully glue-fixed into the gaps. After the wood slithers are in place, we then sand the surface down to create a smooth and even finish that matches the surrounding floorboards. This method not only fills the gaps efficiently but also contributes to a more cohesive and attractive look for the entire floor space. The added benefit of this approach is that it minimizes draughts significantly, enhancing the comfort of the room.
Overall, filling the gaps between floorboards is a practical solution that transforms the look and feel of your flooring, making it a worthwhile investment for any homeowner looking to improve their indoor environment.
Hearth Removal
As properties are altered, a hearth can become redundant, but can be messy to remove.
It is possible to remove a hearth and replace the base footprint with 2 floor boards supported by a wooden frame. The result is a gain in useful floor space, a tidier room, and a continuation of the beautiful wooden floor you already have in place.
Mat Well
Where no mat well is in place, we can fit on to suit. This keeps the mat in place and helps increase the protection of the surrounding floors. Perfect for winter where wet boots are being brought into the house. A mat well is good means of defense against dirt and wet coming in on footwear.
