Choice is always good but not if it dizzies you, so here is our summary of the various types of services on offer from the Chelsea floor sanding experts. This should get you started and if you have queries about these or any other matters just contact us and we’ll be very happy to assist in any way we can.FLOOR SANDING
This service for domestic and commercial properties in Chelsea is at the heart of what we do and it has always been the most popular one with our customers. The basic procedure here is that the team will arrive on the day appointed and carry out all necessary repairs before the heavy, dust-limiting machines are brought in to do the actual sanding. Parquet tiling as well as hardwood and softwood floors all greatly benefit from sanding. It releases their hidden magic and you’ll be delighted with the results.
WOOD FLOOR RESTORATION
When wooden floors have lurked hidden and forgotten under fitted carpets, old paint and general grime for many years they may seem to be a lost cause. However, all they usually need is a little TLC to bring them back to vivid life and that’s exactly what we at the Chelsea floor sanding experts will provide them with. Between us we’ll agree on a course of treatment to make them shine again.
WOOD FLOOR REPAIR
Generally speaking, repairing a wooden floor is less seriously intrusive a job than fully restoring one. Nonetheless, it is work that has to be carried out thoroughly and can involve repairing sub-floor levels in some cases, as well as filling in gaps with slivers, resin and silicon. This will prevent creaking and reduce the escape of heat from a property, thereby having a direct impact on energy bills.
WOOD FLOOR STAINING
Our teams use the latest eco-friendly stains for their work on the wooden floors of Chelsea SW3. They are also non-allergenic and totally devoid of noxious elements that could affect members of your household. Wood floor staining adds that magical finishing touch, bestowing on the floor a gorgeously rich, deep glow.
WOOD FLOOR FINISHING
There are lots of different finishes for you consider once the initial repair and sanding stages have been completed. These include a whole host of different varnishes, lacquers, stains and waxes and they are all eco-friendly and non-allergenic. Varnishing is appropriate for some areas and waxing and staining for others. It can be bewildering, but the Chelsea wood floor sanding experts are always on hand with helpful advice for you.
PARQUET FLOOR SANDING
Although parquet flooring has come back into fashion again it usually requires skilled attention to bring it back to its former pristine glory. Chelsea properties that are lucky enough to have some still in place should strive to restore it to full and glorious life by calling in our professional parquet restoration team. Sanding a parquet floor demands finesse, and we have the skills and equipment for the job.
PARQUET FLOOR RESTORATION
For a restoration of a decently preserved parquet floor a few tiles will probably need to be replaced and others fixed more securely into place. The task is complicated by the former use of bitumen-based adhesives, which set like cement and require specialist know-how to budge them! Leave such potentially messy jobs to the experts at the Chelsea floor sanding company to restore your parquet properly.
PARQUET FLOOR REPAIR
Repairing a parquet floor, as with repairing a regular hardwood floor, is less invasive than renovating one. A few tiles may need replacing, or loose ones re-bonded with their neighbours and with the floor. It’s delicate work whose success depends partly on an understanding of how differently parquet tiles used to be bonded and replacing the older bitumen-based adhesives with the better modern ones.
WOOD FLOOR POLISHING
A hardwood floor, despite how well you look after it, will eventually begin to fade. You have the option here of giving the floor a professional polish rather than going in again for the sanding cycle. It will however need to be thoroughly buffed first, to make sure that it’s clean and dry enough to take the polish properly. A normal domestic floor should, we suggest, undergo this treatment once every two years, although busy office floor will probably need an annual buff and polish.
GAP FILLING: RESIN, SLIVERS & SILICON
When you have gaps between aged floorboards the room can sound like an old ship of the line when people walk across it. Worse, you’ll be paying over the odds on energy bills because heat will rush out through them. They need to be filled fast, and we do this using a variety of eco-friendly slivers, resin and silicon compounds prior to sanding the floor.
WOOD FLOOR MAINTENANCE
Your newly sanded and finished wooden floor should last you quite a few years. You will need to do a certain amount of maintenance however to keep it looking at its best, such as buffing and polishing every couple of years. This may have to be carried out annually in high-traffic parts of your home or business. We’re always on hand for advice about this and other matters.
COMMERCIAL FLOOR SANDING
First impressions are important for any business and a gleaming wooden floor can work wonders on customers visiting your offices for the first time. We can work around your normal Chelsea business hours to keep the disruption down as we renovate your tired old floor.
SCHOOL FLOOR SANDING
Our expert teams have great experience in sanding, polishing and renovating wooden floors in Chelsea, which typically have unusually large areas of floorboards and parquet to deal with. We’re happy to carry out the work during school holidays to minimise any disruption.
FINISHES AND SEALS
In line with our green policies all of our stains, seals, varnish and other finishes are completely eco-friendly and free of noxious materials. We help you choose the right ones for the wood we’re working with in keeping with your plans for the property as a whole.
