This was a pine floorboards job in Balham. The floor had seen a lot of use and the old finish had started to break down in patches. We sanded it back, sorted the gaps, and applied a lacquer finish, which gives a hardwearing protective layer on top. The client wanted something that would hold up well to daily use.

Our approach to floorboards in Clapham

Clapham properties are mainly Victorian terrace houses, Edwardian semis, and 1930s purpose-built blocks. Original floorboards in these homes can be 80 to 120 years old and are generally worth preserving rather than replacing. A full sand takes them back to bare wood and gives you a fresh start with the finish of your choice.

We sand using dust-minimised equipment which keeps disruption low. For floorboards, the main prep work is gap filling and securing any loose boards before we start. The finish choice depends on how the room is used and what the client prefers. We can advise on that during the survey.

We cover Clapham and the surrounding areas. Call or email for a quote.
