Floor sanding and wooden floor restoration in Edinburgh

Bringing old floorboards back

Floorboards in tenements and older houses are often hidden under carpet or worn through in places. Sanding takes off the old finish and marks, and the right sealer brings out the colour of the timber.

Before sanding we check for loose, split or damaged boards and replace or repair them, so the finished floor is solid as well as good looking.

Choosing a finish

Oil gives a natural, matt look and is easy to touch up. Lacquer is harder wearing in busy rooms and hallways. We go through the options with you when we see the floor.
