Before the works...
The oak engineered wood flooring in this Chigwell house was looking tired and in urgent need of renovation. During our free survey, we did detailed inspection of the floors and discussed with the client all possible options.
Our client has decided to go for floor sanding, gap filling, of oak engineered wood flooring and finishing the floors in matt Lacquer.
How we made it happen...
After our floor sanding experts have checked all property & service details on site, they started with lifting existing and its preparation for disposal to our waste facility.
Our works included wood floor restoration of approx. 17 sqm engineered wood flooring and finishing in 2 coats matt Lacquer. The sealing went down with 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of Lacquer.
We also carried out gap filling as part of the floor renovation process. We aim to apply the resin filler with saw dust in the end of the working day, so it settles properly overnight and in case it is needed we can repeat it on the following day , if required. The filler is after that removed by next stages of the floor sanding process in medium grids .
Overall the project was completed as planned and to the delight of the client.
