Floorboard Sanding in Dulwich Village
We restored original pine floorboards in a Dulwich Village home, sanding them down and applying a durable oil finish to enhance their natural warmth and beauty.
Sanding & Preparing the Floorboards
Restoring the Natural Beauty of Pine Floorboards
Removing old coatings and refining the surface
The original pine floorboards in this Dulwich Village home were covered in an ageing finish that dulled their natural character. To revive their look, we carried out a dust-free sanding process, carefully working through a grit sequence to achieve a smooth, even surface while preserving the wood’s distinctive grain. Precision sanding along edges and corners ensured a flawless result.
Oil Finishing for a Durable, Natural Look
Enhancing and Protecting the Wooden Floor
Bringing out the wood’s warmth with high-quality oil
To protect the newly sanded surface and enrich its tones, we applied Pallmann Magic Oil, known for its durability and natural matte finish. This high-performance oil penetrates deep into the wood, offering excellent wear resistance while keeping the surface breathable. The transformation was striking—the floor’s grain and knots became more pronounced, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Our client was delighted with the final result, praising the rich, long-lasting finish.

Robert Dyan
Limestone Polishing, London, FinchleyWe had a great experience with Silver Lining Floor Care Company. First of all, they came to see me the same day I contacted them to show how the floor sanding would work and also apply a couple of coloured varnishes to appreciate what the final effect would look like. Once selected, they have shared the most professional quote I have seen in my life, with a clear Video explanation that takes you through the quote line by line. Additionally, they have great customer care - they are always available over the phone, whatsapp and email to really address any query you have. Cherry on the cake, they have delivered a very good job, respecting their promise. I would highly recommend.

Wooden Floor Polishing Hackney, LondonFirst time using Silver Lining. Absolutely excellent job done cleaning our lounge rugs and carpets, and also our whole hallway and stairs by their cleaner Mick using a truck-mounted cleaning system. Will definitely be using them in the future.
Simon Rossi
Carpet Cleaning, London, Hither GreenSuper results, pleasant and professional workers, constructive and flexible process. Big thank you to the team! Got the floor of one room, which was very worn and damaged, sanded down, re-stained and lacquered. Particular challenge was trying to match the rest of the flat's flooring, which I didn't know what products had been used on it. The team was super engaged in trying to work this problem, and the results were fantastic.

Antonio Di Buono
Wood Floor Sanding & Oiling, London, BermondseyJohnny and the team were very professional. We had lots of calls to discuss reconditioning our Reclamed Burmese teak parquet floor. We planned the dates for when we went away on holiday. His team were trustworthy reliable with great communication! when we came back from holiday the floor was completed and the treatment is holding up well two months later, much better than the original treatment which was a hard wax oil that only lasted 2 years! it was applied by general builders with no expertise in wood floor treatments. This time we went with a lacquer with hardener, we have a big Labrador dog and we still have no visible scratches on the surface and we look forward to seeing how it holds up with the test of time!

Wood Floor Sanding & Oiling, London, WandsworthSilver Lining Floor Care conducted some Victorian Tile restoration and cleaning for me. A day after the initial visit some white residue came to the surface due to moisture in the air. On calling Silver Lining Floor Care to tell them this they returned and rectified immediately. An excellent job and will be using again. I can recommend.
O Bidder
Victorian Tiles Restoration, London, KensigtonSilver Lining Floor Care refinished our existing floorbaords and installed new engineered oak in the remainder of our flat. They are an extremely professional and efficient business to work with. Johnny was very responsive throughout the scoping and quoting process and recommended an engineered oak floorboard that was both higher quality and cheaper than the boards I'd been looking at. Peter first leveled our floors before installing the new boards to ensure a very professional fit. He was easy to communicate with and sent photos throughout the installation as we were not around to see it in person. We have worked with lots of contractors for the renovation of our flat and been dismayed at how so many companies leave the property in a total mess. Silver Lining Floor Care have been the only company to take good care of the property and leave it in perfect condition. Very happy with the finished product and would definitely recommend them.

Wood Floor Fitting, Sanding & Oiling, London, Clapham CommonJohnny, Peter and Milosz did a great job on our floors. The quote was provided promptly and we were kept informed at all times of appointments and next steps. When the carpet was taken up prior to work, this showed that some floorboards needed to be repaired. Milosz did a very thorough job in repairing these, removing gaps, strengthening the existing boards and taking a great deal of care to make the floor look as good as possible. I would recommend Silver Lining Floor Care.

Robert Hurst
Wood Floor Sanding & Fishing with Raw Wood Effect LacquerWe had new doors on the back of the house which meant we needed the floor lifted and taken to a new border point. Small job but as time consuming as a new floor. Team were amazing and cut out the old boards and put in the new ones so everything fitted flush with a great trim border they made out of a spare board. Really nice people, clean and tidy and would highly recommend.
