Sanding, Polishing & Varnishing

From furniture removal to masking out and securing dust form your cupboards, we take care in providing you with the best possible experience whilst your house is being transformed.

We have 17 years’ experience sanding and polishing timber floors and are able to offer a swift and reliable service. 

We provide services for all indoor floor areas, including feature walls, stairs and ceilings to outdoor decks, benches and screens. Basically if its timber, we can sand and polish it. 

In some cases skirting boards will need to be removed and reapplied. If you are planning to paint your walls as well as revamp your floor, we advise you leave the last coat of the skirting until after the floor is completed.

The process begins with sanding back the old varnish and is either a light sand or a full rough sand, depending on the condition of the floor and the depths of scratches and stains. This will be advised in the quote consultation.

The next step is to polish up the boards before applying your varnish of choice.

There is a variety of options available including polyurethane, water based and oil based products. Satin, matt or gloss. In most cases, 3 coats is applied. The decision making process can vary due to high or low traffic flow expected, pets and children. This will also be discussed during your quote and the appropriate finish for your lifestyle can be accommodated.

Depending on the size of your house and area required, this process can take 2- 5 days on average.

If your whole house is being refreshed, you will most likely need to find alternate sleeping arrangements for the duration of the job but if it is only part of your house, we make sure we minimize the dust transfer as much as possible and it is fine to remain in the house. You will just need to be careful of the wet varnish during the drying periods.
