Our Approach to Floor Sanding in Hampstead

More Than 30 Years of Experience: The Natural Floor Co. has more than 30 years of experience in wooden floor restoration, including sanding, repairs, gap filling, staining and finishing.
Dust-Controlled Sanding: Professional sanding equipment with effective dust extraction is used to capture most sanding dust at source and help minimise airborne dust during the work.
Floor-Specific Assessment: The appropriate restoration method depends on the floor’s construction, timber, condition, previous treatments and required finish.
Residential and Commercial Work: We assess suitable wooden flooring in homes and commercial properties in Hampstead, with the work required agreed according to the existing floor.

Key Benefits of Floor Sanding:

Surface Preparation: Sanding can reduce suitable surface scratches, worn coatings and some marks while preparing the timber for an agreed finish. Deep scratches, stains or damage may require additional repair or may remain visible.
Renewed Finish: Where the floor is suitable for restoration, sanding can prepare the existing timber for a new finish. Maintenance requirements then depend on the finish, room use and level of traffic.
Retains Existing Timber: Where suitable, restoring an existing wooden floor can allow the timber to remain in use rather than replacing it solely because the surface has become worn.
Retaining Existing Flooring: Where an existing wooden floor is suitable for restoration, sanding and refinishing may allow it to remain in use instead of replacing it because of surface wear alone.

Our Floor Sanding Process

The work required depends on the construction and condition of the existing floor. A typical restoration may include assessment, repairs, sanding, gap filling where appropriate and an agreed finish.

Assessment: We inspect the floor’s construction, timber, condition and previous treatments and identify areas that may require repair before agreeing the sanding and finishing work.
Sanding: Professional sanding equipment and appropriate abrasive grades are used to remove a controlled amount of the worn surface and prepare suitable timber for refinishing. Effective dust extraction is used during sanding. Deep scratches, stains or other damage may require additional repair or may remain visible.
Repairs and Gap Filling: Loose or damaged boards, protruding fixings, gaps and other areas requiring attention can be assessed before finishing. The appropriate repair or gap-filling method depends on the floor’s construction and condition.
Finishing: After sanding and any agreed repairs, a suitable finish can be applied. The appropriate product depends on the timber, room use, expected traffic and required appearance.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dave and Diego have been absolutely wonderful for us! Once we got the keys to our new place, my partner and I got to work tearing out the sad old carpet and revealing some incredibly tired floorboards. We had just a week from when we finishing tearing out the carpets to when we needed to move in, but any stress we had about not getting the floors done before then was unfounded as Dave and Diego worked miracles. I’d been in contact with Dave a couple weeks earlier while shopping around for quotes, and when I got back to him they managed to not only schedule us in at incredibly late notice, but they also managed to finish all our floors in just three days, accompanied with advice for floor care while we moved in as they were still curing, and instructions for long term care.

As you can see, their work completely transformed the space. They were lovely and easy to communicate with and did excellent work, and all was very well priced and affordable compared to other quotes we received, and I’d be more than happy to recommend them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent experience with David and Diego. They were flexible and able to come on short notice. Very happy with the finish- the job included a lot of tricky old boards which I was very hapoy with the attention to detail on the gap filling, the reclaimed boards sourced, custom staining of new board to match.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dave and Diego did an amazing job with the floors. Really friendly and professional team, and gave great advice. The team went above and beyond, I would definitely recommend them. Gaps between boards were filled well, screws well hidden, short boards replaced, and they were very helpful with picking final finish.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Diego and team did a terrific job on my floors, both with insulation, sanding and finishing. The quote and payment process with Dave was very easy and more to the point accurate. They were also a really nice team of people. I would highly recommend them for work with wooden floors. They did what they said they would, for the agreed price and in the agreed timescale. Thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does floor sanding cost in Hampstead?

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 single flat room is a very different job from a large period house with original boards needing repairs. We assess the floor in person first, then give you a clear, no-obligation quote so the scope and cost are set out before any work begins.

My home is listed or in a Hampstead conservation area — does that affect the work?

Much of Hampstead sits within a conservation area, and many houses are listed. Sanding and refinishing existing boards is usually straightforward, but where a property is listed, altering original floors can carry consent conditions, so it’s worth checking before finishes or board changes are decided. Our approach with period floors is to retain and restore the original timber wherever possible, which is normally the preferred outcome for these homes.

Can you repair damaged boards and fill gaps before finishing?

Yes. Where boards are split, loose, cupped or badly worn, we repair or replace those sections and blend them in, and we can fill the gaps between boards that are common in older Hampstead homes and let in draughts. Gaps can be filled with a resin filler or with slivers of matching timber, depending on the floor and the look you want. We’ll assess the boards first and recommend the most suitable option.

Which finish suits a period Hampstead interior — oil, lacquer or wax?

It depends on the look you want and how the room is used. Oils and hard-wax oils give a natural, low-sheen finish that suits period interiors and can be patch-repaired locally. Lacquers offer a harder-wearing surface for busy areas, and are available from matt through to gloss. We’ll talk through how each option looks and wears on your particular timber before you decide.

Is the sanding process clean enough for an occupied home?

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 family home where you want to keep disruption to a minimum.
