Stair Sanding
Old pine staircases can be
repaired, refurbished and brought back to a virtually
original state.
Sealing / Varnishing
Horses for courses is a phrase
we use quite often, As the type of Seal / Varnish / Laquer
we use, largely depends on the type of wood your floor is
made of and the type of look you are trying to achieve.
Oil
modified Varnish is lovely on Oak, but not so nice
on new Pine.
Hard
wax oil Is always a pleasure to use and complements
hardwood to the max, but beware it does need regular maintenance.
Polyurethane
Waterbourne Varnish is the most versatile of all the
Varnishes we use its great on any type of flooring, Finishes
available in Matt, Matt Silk and Gloss.

Staining
Whatever colour your
thinking we are sure to be able to achieve your every wish,
The dyes we use leave the timber looking natural as all grain
and variation is shown through our Light Fast stain. You can
have an off the shelf colour or let us create almost any colour
or shade using our own mixing methods.
Colour Washing
/ Tinting
Using the Latest methods
we can create diferent levels of colour, warmth and opacity,
from a simple white or Cream wash to a complete colour change
using universal tints.
Gap
Filling
Gap filling between Floorboards
is something thats quite new to the trade, Since rennovation
of Pine floors has became so popular in recent years the demand
to fill gaps has became greater and greater, But beware poor
ventillation, Seasonal climate changes, Eratic heating methods
or boards working loose over time can all make it drop out,
Pine is renowned for moving and floor brads can work loose
over time, Gap filling can never be guaranteed but every effort
is made to keep it in.
Mastic
Gap filling (Floor Fudge)
Using
Bona gap fill, Blanchon floor fudge or Unika coloured mastic,
we can fill gaps between floorboards which is flexible and
so will not fall out or crack, Available in a variety of colours
to match or contrast with your exsisting floor colour. Mastic
fillers are also re-sandable.
Sand only Service
If you would like to save
money, then why not use our sanding only service, we will
give plenty of advice on how to varnish the floor yourselves
and even supply you with varnish or wax for your desired finish.
Screen/Scrub and Seal
For a fraction of the cost
of a re-sand, why not get your already finished floors revitalised
and add another 5 - 7 years to the life of your floor varnish.
