See What Our Clients from Finchley Say About Us...

• ★★★★★

  Floorworks did a great job sanding and varnishing our old wooden floor. It came up like new. Great service and price. Would recommend.

  John Your Mate, landlord from Finchley, N3
• ★★★★★

  Honestly incredibly pleased with all aspects of the service. We needed new floors installed to replace old carpets. I contacted many companies for quotes and samples. Floorworks was by far the most professional, responsive and helpful team, they quickly organised a quotation, site visit and offered samples (while I had to chase other companies). Their pricing was also one of the most competitive ones. The work was scheduled quickly and done very efficiently and well. The installation guys were very punctual, careful and did the job in one day (for two bedrooms). Overall, I'd give more than 5 stars if I could. If we ever need floorwork done again, we will certainly be back. Thank you!

Do You Have a Question?

• What is gap filling and how is it done?

  Gap filling usually refers to a procedure that is part of the floor restoration process, which uses a mixture of clear resin and saw dust, collected from the initial sanding and is used to fill in the gaps between the floorboards or between the parquet blocks. It is a very common service that often goes along with floorboards restoration and parquet floor sanding services. Sometimes, bigger gaps appear between the wooden planks and they require the use of wooden strips to be filled. This is called strip filling.

• Can you repair blobs on my recently varnished wooden floors?

  The appearance of blobs may be a result of an insufficient bonding between the different coats of varnish or between the first coat of floor varnish and the timber.

  This sometimes happens if the floors have not been perfectly sanded to a very smooth finish before the application of the varnish or when the previous sealant was not completely sanded down before the new varnish was applied.

  The only solution we would recommend is to re-sand and re-varnish the floors again to ensure a smooth sanded surface and a proper application of the coats of varnish on top, ideally done by a professional flooring company to avoid this happening again.

  However, you need to ensure that your floors have a sufficient remaining solid wood top layer available for another sanding. Each time the floor is sanded, a small portion of the top layer is removed. If the top layer becomes too thin, further sanding could potentially expose the underlying core material. It’s essential to measure the remaining thickness of the wear layer to confirm whether sanding is a viable option.

  If you're unsure, a professional can help assess the condition of the floor and recommend the best course of action.

• Do you use reclaimed parquet blocks for removing & extending fireplace hearths?

  Thank you for contacting us regarding parquet flooring restoration.

  Fireplace hearth removal and extension with reclaimed parquet blocks is one of our regular services accompanying parquet floor repairs and renovations. We are able to supply additional reclaimed parquet blocks, matching the size of your flooring and use them to re-stich the parquet flooring once the fireplace heart is removed.  After the floor extension, a complete sanding and re-varnishing will provide a beautiful and new look to your parquet flooring and there will be no trace of the fireplace heart.

And Some Frequently Asked Questions...

• How long does it take for an oiled floor to dry?

  For an oiled wood floor, the initial drying time for light foot traffic typically ranges from 4 to 12 hours after the final coat, depending on the specific oil product used and environmental conditions like humidity and temperature in your home or premises. However, it's crucial to understand that "dry to touch" does not mean fully cured. For the oil to reach its maximum hardness and durability, allowing for heavy furniture placement and normal traffic, a full curing period of 5 to 14 days, and sometimes up to 30 days, is recommended. Adequate ventilation during this period is essential to facilitate proper curing.

• How much does it cost to restore original floorboards?

  The cost to restore original floorboards starts with from £27 per square meter for sanding and a standard finish (like varnish or oil). This price can increase significantly depending on the floor's condition; for instance, extensive gap filling might add an extra £10 per square meter, while staining could be £10 per square meter. Factors like the amount of repair work needed for damaged or missing boards, the type of finish selected (some premium oils or lacquers are more expensive), and the complexity of removing old adhesives or multiple layers of paint will influence the final quotation.

• How many coats of oil are included in your service?

  Our sanding and oiling service includes 2 coats of clear hardwax-oil or 1 coat of colour oil followed by 1 coat of clear oil.

  Depending on the timber species and its specific requirements, we can occasionally increase the number of coats to ensure optimal protection and finish.
