The images show the team at work sorting out a problem where two rooms have been knocked through to make one. With the wall removed it became apparent the two floors were independant and the floor boards did not line up.
To remedy the problem, the boards in the smaller room were completely removed.
The boards from the other room which ended in a line were then cut back to stagger the joins, each lining up with a joist to allow fixing.
The removed boards were then used to fill the space with new boards spread amongst them to complete the area.
The new much whiter boards were then coloured during the varnishing process to make all the boards match...
Sanding and finishing floors that have been painted, in the main, is not a problem as our machines are quite capable of removing paint. However, on soft pine floorboards which most houses have, the problem lies in the gaps between the boards. If the floor was not gap filled before painting, chances are the paint has run down the sides of the boards. As you can imagine, this is difficult to remove and has to be done by hand.
In an attempt to retain maximum board thickness, we cannot always guarantee the total removal of all small traces of paint that may have been applied over deep scratches and damage etc.
We use the finest quality lacquers and oils, scientifically designed and developed in the UK, Sweden and Germany. Mylands, Bona Kemi, and Pallmann are World leaders in floor products, which means both looks and durability are more than catered for when covering your newly sanded floor. Whether you require a clear or stained, matt, satin or gloss finishes, our team will always be able to satisfy your requirements.
Reasons for NOT sanding your stairs... Because this is a nasty job, pretty much all floor sanders really don't want to get involved and there are many reasons. For instance, if you look at our images, you will see a shadow up the center which is caused from contamination over the years from the lead based paint applied early in their life. Secondly, there aren't any tools specifically made for the job which results in many hours of hand finishing, in an attempt to create the lush finish achieved on the surrounding floors. Especially in between the spindles that support the bannister rails, where they meet the treads as sanding across the grain can destroy to finished appearance even moreso if stained. All in all, the technicians are working in very cramped conditions and the operations are very damaging to the hand power tolls with heat build up destroying at least one machine when used over a typical set of Victorian stairs...
