We assess the timber, existing finish and remaining condition before recommending sanding and recoating. Scratches in a coating and damage in the timber may need different preparation; not every floor is suitable for another sanding.
Repairing boards before finishing the surface
Loose boards, moisture marks or movement need attention before the new coating is applied. We agree any board repairs, room preparation and finish selection with you. Access while the finish dries is planned for an occupied property.
What Affects the Quote?
Floor area, coating removal, edge detail, board repairs, furniture clearance and the selected finish affect pricing.
Suitable timber floors can be sanded and prepared for a compatible coating. We first assess the timber, existing finish and board condition. The agreed scope includes the accessible floor area, edges and your preferred colour and sheen.
Should loose boards or moisture damage be checked before floor sanding?
Yes. Board movement, moisture damage and protruding fixings need assessment before sanding starts. Surface finishing does not resolve an underlying moisture or support problem. Tell us about known leaks or movement when arranging the assessment.
What preparation is needed in an occupied home?
Tell us which rooms are occupied and what furniture needs moving. Access, dust isolation and ventilation affect the work plan. Existing coatings or unknown floor materials may need additional controls, which are confirmed during assessment.
