Robert Hurst

Wood Floor Sanding & Fishing with Raw Wood Effect Lacquer

We 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.

Floorboard Replacement in London

Floorboard replacement in London is one of the best ways to repair structural damage without compromising visual appeal. We carefully source reclaimed floorboards that match the age, grain, and finish of your original timber.

Joist Repairs and Subfloor Support

Rotting or weakened joists can compromise the entire flooring system. Our team reinforces or replaces joists to provide a strong foundation for the repaired floorboards.

Filling Gaps with Wooden Slivers

Using timber slivers for floorboard gap filling prevents cold drafts, reduces dust, and creates a smooth, uniform finish. This technique is ideal for older homes with shrinking or uneven boards.

Removing Hearths

During Floorboard Repairs When removing a fireplace or hearth, we seamlessly infill the area with reclaimed wood and ensure that the finish blends into the rest of the floor.

Fixing Squeaky Floorboards

Our floorboard repair service eliminates squeaks by tightening, stabilising, or reinforcing loose boards, subfloors, or joists. Silence restored.

Repairing Water Damaged Floorboards

Whether caused by leaks or flooding, water-damaged boards can be repaired or replaced. We match tone and finish so they blend naturally into the room.

Floorboard Repairs with Added Insulation

Improve thermal efficiency and reduce sound transmission by adding underfloor insulation during the repair process. Ideal for both residential and commercial spaces.
