Local Floor Sanding You Can Trust in Henleaze

Henleaze is 1930s Bristol at its best, and the floors of that era were good: oak block parquet in the hallways and living rooms, solid boards elsewhere. Under worn carpet, a lot of it is still waiting.

Parquet is a different job to floorboards. Loose blocks need lifting and re-bedding, missing ones need matching, and the sanding has to respect the pattern. We do it properly, and a restored 1930s parquet floor is hard to beat.

Floor Problems We Fix in Henleaze

Between the parquet and the boards, Henleaze keeps us busy. What we handle:

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.
