Before the works...
The oak engineered wood flooring in this Tooting house was looking tired and in urgent need of renovation. During our free site survey, we did detailed inspection of the floors & discussed with the client all possible options, followed by detailed quote with our floor restoration & repairs pricing.
Our client has decided to go for floor sanding, staining and floor repairs of 47 sqm oak engineered wood flooring and finishing the floors in matt Lacquer.
How we carried out this oak engineered wood flooring restoration...
One of the challenges we faced during the floor works was to complete the floor works in stages, due to larger pieces of furniture, which could not be removed from the rooms.
Engineered wood flooring comes with different thickness of the top layer. During the initial survey, we have confirmed the remaining thickness however, our team will verify again, there is enough thickness before starting the floor restoration works.
During the oak engineered floor renovation, the entire area is going through a sanding process of levelling with coarser grids, finishing with finer grids, and finally buffing, prior to sealant application & between the coats, for outstanding results.
Our works included approx. 47 sqm oak engineered wood flooring floor renovation and finishing in matt lacquer. The sealing went down with 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of Bona Mega lacquer.
Our floor refinishing service begins with detailed inspection of the floors and any repairs to the engineered wood flooring will be completed in this initial stage. In this project we supplied matching product and replaced approx. 2 sqm of engineered wood flooring, damaged by water leak.
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 engineered wood flooring floor staining in medium oak colour.
Overall, this floor sanding project in Tooting was completed as planned and to the delight of the client.
