Floor Sanding in Kensington

This engineered wood boards job came in from Kensington. The client wanted an oil finish -- which soaks into the wood and protects from within, giving a more natural look. The floor had been down for a long time and had a few repairs to do first, but the wood underneath was solid and took the finish well.

Our approach to engineered wood floor sanding in Kensington

Kensington is mostly white-stucco Victorian townhouses, large Edwardian mansion blocks, and mews conversions. Original engineered wood boards in these homes tend to be good quality material -- often better than anything you would buy new today. A proper sand takes it right back to clean timber and lets you choose the finish you want. We advise on that during the survey based on how the room is used.

For engineered, prep is the main thing. We fill gaps, secure loose sections, and make sure the surface is stable before we start sanding. Skip that stage, and the finish will not last. We do not skip it.
