Book our wood floor repair services and give your property the makeover it deserves!
With time and use, neglected, yet very important parts of our homes, like the wooden floors, start to look very far from pleasant. Deep scratches form from all of that furniture moving throughout the years, gaps, missing floorboards, stains from cleaning products, a faded floor colour - the list of issues grows with each passing day. With all of this being said, if your floor is in need of a well-deserved makeover, why not book a professional wooden floor restoration and repair service?
Here is what is included in our wooden floor repair service and how the floor restoration is performed:
The very first thing that should be done before the service is for the room to be cleared out from all types of furniture and floor coverings. Typically, this is done by the homeowner, but if you need help with the task, the parquet flooring restoration specialist will give you a hand. Note that this will be additionally charged. Once everything is out of the way, the technician will perform a deep cleaning of the wooden floor to remove any dirt and buildup. This step is extremely important, especially when it comes to fixing wood floors that require gap filling.
Wood floor restoration is a process that involves a lot of separate repair processes, which can include replacing a wooden block, filling gaps, sanding, wood staining, sealing, etc. If all of these steps are performed correctly and in the right order, the end result will be a revived wooden floor that will continue to be an attractive feature in your home for a very long time.
Generally, the first step of the wood floor restoration technician is to fix any existing damaged parts. They will carefully lift any loose boards, secure them, refit old ones, or replace them with new pieces, and wrap everything up with a regluing job. Note that all old boards that are beyond repair will be replaced with reclaimed timber of the same quality and age, if possible. If there are any protruding and potentially dangerous nails, the technician will take care of them, as well.
In the past, wooden floors were glued down with a different type of adhesive, called Bitumen. Its consistency resembles glue and it is black, which is no longer used when fixing down flooring. With this said, if your wooden floor is set with this type of adhesive, the “glue” needs to be removed. You see, if the technician were to apply a new coat of adhesive when performing the parquet flooring restoration, the Bitumen will affect its bonding time and the overall quality of the job.
It’s very common for the subfloor, which is located below the blocks, to appear uneven. Sometimes the Bitumen removal can also damage this material, creating a potential issue. To avoid this, your appointed London floor restoration specialist will carefully level the surface with a special compound.
One of those disadvantages of wooden floors is the gaps that appear, due to a series of reasons, such as the weather changes in the seasons, the drop and rise of the humidity levels, etc. The natural wooden material tends to expand and contract, which, over time, “helps” the formation of gaps in the floor. Needless to say, this affects the overall appearance of the wood floor and shortens its lifespan. These are the reasons why gap filling is such an important part of the wood floor repair and restoration process. The procedure is performed right after the replacement of any damaged boards and/or after the securing of loose ones.
The main goal of floor sanding is for the surface layer, the one that is most probably damaged, to be removed and smoothed out. This step is completed prior to the wood floor sealing, which helps the flooring stay protected in the future. The professional wood floor repair and restoration expert will examine the floor and determine the timber type to decide on the right restoration method. The equipment that they are going to use to perform the sanding job is compatible with practically any kind of wood floor and is going to deliver quality results.
Wood floor re-oiling is mandatory for floors that are not sealed. It helps keep the natural beauty and shine of a freshly installed wooden floor. It is recommended to re-oil your natural wood floors annually.
The final step of our service is for the technician to seal and refinish by applying oil, wax, or lacquer to the wooden floor. This part of the wood floor repair and restoration service ensures that your floor will be protected for a longer period. Note that the products that we use are 100% environmentally friendly and safe.
