Local Floor Sanding You Can Trust in Cotham

Cotham's tall Victorian houses have generous rooms and generous floors to match. Many have spent years divided into flats and HMOs, and the boards have taken a beating: paint lines around old partitions, patch repairs, and layers of everything from bitumen to hardboard.

That history is not a problem. We lift what should not be there, repair what needs it, and sand the whole floor flat so the room reads as one space again. It is some of the most satisfying work we do.

Floor Problems We Fix in Cotham

Cotham floors have often lived several lives. The problems we put right:

Worn and scratched boardsSanded back through the full grit sequence, never just skimmed, then finished in hardwax oil or lacquer.

Gaps between floorboardsFilled with resin and dust or timber slivers, sanded flat so the repair disappears.

Paint, bitumen and old stainStripped back to clean timber, including the stubborn black borders left by old carpet fittings.

Split, patched or missing boardsRepaired or replaced with matching reclaimed timber before any sanding starts.

Cold, draughty floorsInsulated from below or during a refit, so the room holds its heat.
