Frequently Asked Questions
How much does floor sanding cost in Dalston?
There’s no single price, because it depends on the room size, the type and condition of the timber, whether any boards need repair or gap filling, and the finish you choose. A studio flat off Kingsland Road is a very different job from a full Victorian home near London Fields. We assess the floor first, then give you a clear, no-obligation quote so you know exactly what’s included before any work starts.
Is sanding really cheaper than replacing my floor?
In most cases, yes. Sanding and refinishing existing boards is usually far less expensive and disruptive than lifting and replacing a whole floor, and it keeps the original timber and character. It only stops being worthwhile when boards are too thin, rotten or damaged to save, which is something we check during the assessment. Where most boards are sound and just a few are beyond repair, we can replace those individually and blend them in.
Do you sand floors in shops, cafés and studios as well as homes?
Yes. We work in commercial and creative spaces across Dalston, from retail units and cafés around Ridley Road to studios and lofts near Ashwin Street, as well as homes and flats. Commercial floors often need a tougher finish and careful scheduling around opening or working hours, and we can plan the work to keep disruption to your business down.
Which finish should I choose after sanding?
It depends on the look you want and how the space is used. Oils and hard-wax oils give a natural, matt appearance and can be patch-repaired locally. Lacquers and varnishes give a harder-wearing surface for busy homes and commercial floors, and are available from matt through to gloss. We’ll talk through how each option looks and wears on your particular floor before you decide.
Is the sanding process really dust-free?
We use dust-extraction equipment that captures most of the dust at source, which keeps the working conditions dust-controlled and far cleaner than older sanding methods. No process removes every particle, but the reduction in mess is significant, which matters in an occupied flat, a shared building or a café or shop where cleanliness is essential.
