Why Floor sanding is a good choice
- Floor sanding and wooden floor restoration has become a dust free process in the last decade, gone are the days of dusting down curtains and getting cleaning companies in after the sanding work. Our machines with there vacuum systems will extract 99.97% of dust at source, effectively this means whilst the machine is sanding the wood no dust will be seen even in the brightest of lights.
Dust Free!!
- Another common misconception is that the Floor sanding process is so loud that you couldn't bear to have that much noise in your home for days on end, again technology has come a long way, Although its never going to be a quite job floor sanding now is not as loud as it used to be. If the floor sanding is taking part in a room of the house with a door, many times my clients have been able to work from home whilst the wooden floor restoration is taking place.
Not as loud as you think
- If you consider that when having a new wooden floor installed that you will most likely have to remove current wooden floor, then have some form of subfloor preparation to do before even starting to install new solid or engineered wood flooring. then its easy to see how restoring your current hardwood or softwood by floor sanding will be a much quicker process.
Quicker than laying a new floor
- Obviously in time all things change, what style/colour or taste you had before might need changing, when having your wooden floor sanded you can start again like a blank canvas. having either a dark or light finish, matt or gloss finish lacquer or oil finish.

What do we do with the sawdust waste product?
Floor sanding will always produce a waste product (lots of low and high grit saw dust ) this is always going to be the case, however at 4 seasons we like to do as much as we can to reduce our carbon footprint, nothing is wasted! We hand out all sawdust from our floor sanding jobs to local farmers or equestrian centres so that it can be used as floor bedding.

How long do the finishes take to dry?
Depending on if your choice is lacquer or oil, this may vary however. lacquer- 1/2 hours per coat. oil- 4/6 hours per coat.
How can we decide on colours?
If you choose to have your wooden floor coloured then I will put down samples of different colours directly to the wooden floor so you can decide properly.
How do you fill the gaps between floorboards?
If you have victorian pine boards then we will use pine fillets and adhesive to fill them the proper way, there are cut off and then sanded back to leave a flush surface of pine where your gaps were.
How do you fill small gaps?
If you have a hardwood that we are sanding and you have natural seasonal movement that has formed small gaps around the floor, we use a mastic filler that we will try to match close as we can to your floor.
What about gaps in herringbone floors?
Again if you have many gaps around a herringbone floor then we will mix the sawdust with a resin that is spread across the floor numerous times to sink into the many gaps, then sanded and finished.
How do you repair broken boards?
Sourcing identical boards if you have an old floor is vert hard to do, so I will always try to source some boards from hidden locations such as cupboards or under stairs, cut and fix into place then sand & fill.
How long does floor sanding take?
This will off course depend on the size and specification of your project, however as a rule of thumb to follow; 1 room per day if a basic specification is followed, if this one room requires gap filling, repairs or colouring then allow 2 days per room.
