Sanding & Staining Original Pine Floorboards

Before the works...

The pine floorboards in this Brentford house was looking tired and in timely need of refinishing. During our obligation-free survey, we did detailed inspection of the wooden floors & discussed with the client all possible choices, followed by detailed quote with our floor restoration & repairs pricing for floorboards.

Our client has decided to go for floor sanding, gap filling and staining of pine floorboards and finishing the floors in matt Lacquer.

How we completed this pine floorboards restoration...

The original thickness of the pine floorboards used for residential properties is approx. 20 mm when laid. Pine timber shrinks with the time and also becomes thinner every time the floors are restored. The minimal thickness, after which floorboards cannot be restored any further is approx. 15 mm.

At this stage our team will inspect carefully the thickness of the floorboards and also advise if any further repairs or floorboards replacement may be recommended prior to the floor renovation works.

During the floorboards sanding, the original floors are going through a process of levelling with coarser grids, finishing with finer grids, and finally buffing, prior to sealant application & between the coats, for perfect results.

Our works included approx. pine floorboards floor restoration and finishing in matt lacquer. The sealing went down with 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of Bona Mega lacquer.

We also carried out gap filling as part of the floor renovation process. We aim to apply resin filler in late hours of the working day, so it settles properly overnight and in case it is needed we can repeat it on the following morning, if required. The filler is after that removed by next stages of the floor sanding process in medium grids.

A number of colour samples were provided on a sanded surface for the client to review and approve, prior to application of the colour and finishing the floors. The client decided to go with floorboards staining in jacobean oak colour.

Overall, this floor restoration project in Brentford was completed as originally planned and to the delight of the client.
