Floor Sanding in Upper Holloway

This was a solid hardwood boards job in Upper Holloway. 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 an oil finish, which soaks into the wood and protects from within. The client wanted something that would hold up well to daily use.

Our approach to hardwood in Highgate

Highgate properties are mainly Victorian conversion flats, late-Victorian terrace houses, and ex-council estates. Original hardwood 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 hardwood, 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.
