FAQs
Wood Floor Restoration FAQs For Durham
Do you sand original pine floorboards in Durham?
Yes. We regularly assess and restore original pine floorboards, including boards in period terraces, Victorian homes and Edwardian properties. We will advise on repairs, sanding and finish options before work starts.
Can parquet floors be restored?
Many parquet floors can be repaired, sanded and refinished. Loose blocks, missing sections, gaps and old finishes need careful assessment so the original pattern can be preserved wherever practical.
How much dust does sanding create?
Our sanding systems are dust-controlled and designed to dramatically reduce airborne dust. No sanding process is completely dust-free, but preparation and equipment make a significant difference.
Can engineered wood floors be restored?
Some engineered wood floors can be restored, but suitability depends on wear layer thickness, previous sanding and overall condition. Where full sanding is not suitable, we may recommend sandless restoration or a screen and recoat.
How long does floor sanding take?
Timescales depend on the floor size, condition, repairs and finish used. Smaller domestic floors can often be completed over a short visit, while larger homes, parquet projects or commercial floors may take longer.
Do you work in Durham City Centre apartments?
Yes, subject to access, parking, building rules and working-hour restrictions. Tell us about the property when enquiring so we can advise on the most practical approach.
