Floor Sanding in Kentish Town

Wood Floor Sanding and Restoration in Kentish Town

Wooden floors can become scratched, dull, stained or uneven through everyday use. The Natural Floor Co. provides floor sanding and wood floor restoration in Kentish Town for suitable floorboards, parquet and other wooden flooring. With more than 30 years of experience, we assess the timber before recommending appropriate sanding, repairs, gap filling, staining and finishing work.

Why Sand and Restore a Wooden Floor?

Wooden floors can develop worn finishes, scratches and other surface marks over time. Where the timber is suitable, sanding removes a controlled amount of the worn surface and prepares the floor for repairs and refinishing. Deeper scratches, stains or damage may require additional repair or may remain visible after sanding.

What to Consider When Choosing a Floor Sanding Service

When comparing floor sanding services, consider experience, how the floor will be assessed, the sanding and dust-extraction equipment used, any repair requirements and the finishing options available. The appropriate approach will depend on the timber, floor construction, condition and previous treatments.

Benefits of Sanding and Restoring a Wooden Floor

Refreshes Worn Surfaces: Sanding can reduce suitable surface scratches, worn coatings and some marks while preparing the timber for refinishing.
Prepares for Finishing: Sanding prepares suitable timber for an agreed protective finish, selected according to the floor, room use and required appearance.
Retains Existing Flooring: Where the timber is suitable for restoration, sanding and refinishing can allow the existing wooden floor to remain in use rather than replacing it solely because its surface is worn.
Addresses Suitable Surface Issues: During assessment, areas such as damaged, loose or splintered boards can be identified so appropriate repairs can be discussed before sanding and finishing.
Prepares the Existing Surface: Sanding removes a controlled amount of the worn surface and old finish from suitable timber before refinishing.

 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.

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.

Our floor sanding service begins with an assessment of the floor’s condition. The process may include removing the worn surface finish, sanding away suitable scratches and imperfections, smoothing the timber and preparing it for staining or a new protective finish.
