Sanding with the Boys!

A couple of days ago the sun was shining (I know, I thought Winter had come early too) and we sent the lads out en mass. It was a big job. Four handsome men and a rather petulant wooden floor. So, armed with all the tricks of the trade, a few hefty sanders and having vacuumed the floor and knocked-in those stray nails that pop out from time-to-time, they set to work.

  

The furniture was covered, the pets were up a tree somewhere and the kids were playing...elsewhere. As you can see, our promise of a 99% dust-free clean was staunchly in effect. That bag did look awfully full though.

When sanding, there's always the nooks and crannies that need to be tackled. The corners and the bits under the door frames and windows. That's when you send the new-kid (Ben) in. You can tell he's working hard, just look at those pit-stains.

The evidence that the floor was in need of a good buffing is plain to see. After years of varnishing, the pine wood had disguised itself as mahogany. Now, Mahogany is beautiful, but if you own a Pine Wood floor, you want it to look like a Pine Wood Floor. So in we came. 

If you look closely, you can even see the Boss (Pierre) in the background, sneaking up on poor Greg. See the concentration on his face, he has no idea...LOOK OUT!

Now, not every wooden floor needs so much attention, but when we send Gail or Laurence out to quote for us, they take their time and access just how many members of staff we'll require to be able to give you the best possible service and at the end of the job, we guarantee that you'll be as chipper as the floor beneath your feet.

Always remember: Call the Professionals.

Hadstock village Hall ~ Oak floor sanding and oiling

 

This beautiful village hall in Hadstock, near Linton in Cambridgeshire,  was recently Lottery Funded to have a re-vamp.  The hall is regularly used by the locals and was in needed of some serious TLC.  The floors in particular we're in desperate need of some maintenance after decades of use.

Over two days we Sanded and Oiled the main hall and stage.

Sanding was proving difficult at first as the dirt and old oil were melting to the sandpaper, this meant we were having to change the sandpaper more often than usual.

As a gesture of good faith we also gave a complimentary sand and lacquer the small side room.

See below some images of the process:

You can see there was quite a lot of paint transfer on the steps of the stage.  This sanded away nicely.

Oiling really bought out the beautiful colour of this old Oak.

Below you can see the striking wood floor restoration we achieved.
