DEVELOPING OUR FLOOR REVIVING BUSINESS…THE HARD WAY

Today, floor sanding companies take advantage of sophisticated technology to deliver a first class service. No such technology existed in his early days, so We took care of the detail work by hand.

THE BEST WAY TO GROW YOUR BUSINESS?

By word of mouth, of course – as true now as it’s ever been. Despite his skills, developing a reputation as a top class floor sander was not easy. Sanded, stained and finished floors started to grow in popularity during the early years of his business and competition became fierce; floor sanding W4 companies were suddenly everywhere.

"I just want to say thank you very much for all your hard work. As my floor had many nooks and crannies I thought that ironing out these problems was going to be rather daunting, especially as I didn't have much free time or the expertise to do this myself. You were recommended to me by my friend Jean Pointer who lives nearby. You sanded her floor and I'm so glad that she mentioned you to me. Your team turned up on time and completed the work within budget as well. There was minimal hassle - ideal because I have two small children. Just like my friend, I'll also be passing your details onto anyone else that needs to have his or her floor sanded"

"When we decided to varnish our floor, we didn't now how tricky it would turn out to be. My wife and I wanted a dining room with the "wow" factor. However, it turned out that our dining room is massive and the week I booked off from work was not long enough. I soon realised that I'd bitten off more than I could chew. We contacted Andrew and he and his team knew exactly what they were doing and completed the work for us. I didn't have to take any more time off work, indeed we can now both go on that holiday which we've been planning for months. Thanks so much for your help. I won't be spending my holiday on my hands and knees covered in dust and varnish! Great work once again"

"A big, big thank you for all your brilliant work. When we decided to have our floors sanded, our main concern was the potential amount of dust and mess, not least because we have some precious family heirlooms. We shouldn't have worried, though as there was hardly any dust and we're still not sure how you did it! The nails sticking out of our floorboards could have caused us a lot of pain if we'd stood on them but your team knew exactly what to do and having dealt with them, the finish was flawless. As our sanding was finished on time, your quote was very reasonable, too. We'll be passing on your details to our friends who also want their floors sanded."

When I contacted you, I doubted that you'd be able to take the job on, not least because there seemed to be too many problems. However, you completed the work on time and within my budget. My floor now looks good enough to eat off! Great work and if I need to contact someone about repairing floors in my other properties, I now know who to call.

"A bit thank you to Anthony and his team. I honestly thought that my floor couldn't be repaired and that I would face an enormous bill for a total replacement. My home dates back to the 1880s and quite frankly, the floor was in a shocking condition and it looked like 1880 was the last time it had been repaired!However, Anthony replaced the boards throughout our family home, even managing to salvage some of the existing floor boards as well as finding match up replacements for the others. They fit perfectly and they're really going to last. I don't think I'm going to need to contact you again in a long time.The result is a great looking floor and we can now finally buy the furniture we want because we know that our floorboards will support it."

How to sand a parquet floor?

Old parquet flooring looks beautiful when it’s been given a new lease of life through proper sanding and finishing. However, sanding parquet flooring requires a different technique to sanding solid wood strip or planks. Read on to find out how to do it.

Preparation is key

Before you begin sanding the floor, check it over thoroughly to make sure there are no loose or damaged blocks, or protruding nails.

Sanding angle and direction

Parquet block flooring should always be sanded at an angle of 45 degrees to the grain of the wood. This ensures that the blocks remain flat and achieves a smooth finish. It’s not advisable to simply sand the whole floor in one direction across the grain of the blocks, nor will sanding in two different directions achieve a good result.

Begin by using a 40 grit floor sanding belt and work from the centre of the floor outwards towards the walls. This first pass is designed to level the floor and remove any deep scratches in the wood. Remember to always make each pass perpendicular to your previous one, so that you are always sanding with the grain of each wooden block. Next, use an edging sander with a 40 grit disk

Next steps

Fill in any gaps between the blocks with epoxy resin. A good tip is to mix the resin filler with the residual dust from the previous sanding processes to form a paste. Leave the filler to dry completely.

When the floor is dry, use your belt floor sander fitted with a 100 grit sanding belt and make a pass over the floor. Your aim here is to get rid of any bits of proud filler, so that you’re left with a smooth floor. By hand, finish off the corners of the floor that the sander won’t reach.

Finishing touches

Your final job is to buff the floor using a 120 grit sanding screed disk. This process should remove any remaining scratches and imperfections that have been left following the previous processes. Once again, use the technique described above.

Finally, vacuum the floor to remove any traces of dust and grains of dirt so that it is completely clean and ready for sealing and finishing.

There’s a definite technique to sanding a parquet floor. Although it can be a little more time-consuming than working on a plank floor, the end result will be well-worth the extra effort.

If you don’t fancy tackling such a specialist job yourself, why not contact The Parquet Floor Renovation Specialists for a no-obligation estimate.
