What was the job?
We were asked to go to Reading and restore steps and floors in a residential property.
Challenges
On one floor in particular, there were discoloured boards which would require a little more work in order to achieve a uniform tone.
Sanding steps always presents issues because of the reduced surface area and difficulty when sanding risers.
Areas:Entrance hallway: 7.6 m2 (Pine floorboards – 17 cm)
Steps- 2 No. treads & risers
Time taken:
1 day
How the floor looked before we started work
What we did
We were careful not to over-sand the discoloured areas, but did have to achieve a lighter colouring across the whole surface. When we had managed this, we could continue as normal until the entire floor was ready for stain and lacquer.

The results
Thanks to sanding and stain, the floor is a lot lighter and more aesthetically pleasing. We successfully applied the same quality of work to the steps and the knots in the wood give off a more natural effect.
We provide virtually dust-free sanding with our continuous belt machinery with mobile extraction units, giving you a safer environment for your family.
This organic finish not only adds beauty to your home but also has exceptional water-repellent characteristics, making it easier to clean and maintain.
We offer a full assessment of your wooden floors to determine what repairs are needed to provide the perfect working surface for the later stages of sanding, staining and sealing.
