Super 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.

Floorboards Sanding and Staining, Lodnon, Lower Clapton

Silver Lining Floor Care did an outstanding job sanding and oiling the floors in my new flat. They successfully removed all stains and scratches, leaving the floor looking brand new. The team was very professional throughout the process, providing a detailed quote before starting and offering various options to suit my needs. Their expertise and attention to detail really stood out. I couldn’t be happier with the results, and I feel like I got great value for money. If you're looking for reliable, high-quality floor care, I highly recommend Silver Lining Floor Care!

Wood Floor Sanding & Oiling, London, Bermondsey

Johnny 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!

Understanding the materials and the narrative they convey is just as important as aesthetics when it comes to restoring original floorboards. We give Victorian pine the respect it merits because it is softer and more unique.

Whether you live in a flat in South London or on a terrace in North London, we customise each project to fit the unique design and architecture of your house. To guarantee that your floors are both aesthetically pleasing and long-lasting, we combine traditional craftsmanship with contemporary equipment.

Repairing and Filling Gaps in Victorian Pine Floors

Gaps are common, and old boards move over time. Instead of resin filler, we use hand-cut wooden slivers to create a stable, smooth surface again. The outcome:

  • Less creaking beneath feet
  • Improved insulation (goodbye draughts)
  • A smooth appearance that preserves the character of your floor

Removing Hearths for a Seamless Finish

Unused fireplaces often leave gaps or mismatched materials. We’ll remove the hearth, fill the void with reclaimed pine, and make it all blend in beautifully.
  • Reclaims lost space
  • Gives your room a more open, flowing look
  • Respects the building’s original design

Choosing the Correct Finish

Finishing is about how you live, not just how you look. For a busy family life, some homes require durable finishes. Others prefer a low-sheen, matte finish that complements period furnishings.

We’ll go over the following

  • Low-VOC options if air quality is an issue
  • Oils for a cosy, vintage feel
  • Lacquers for durability
  • Stains to change the tone.

Beyond Sanding

Additionally, we provide:

  • Wood Floor Repairs, which include repairing damaged or uneven areas;
  • Finishing Services, which include sealing and safeguarding your floors
  • Complete Restoration, which restores worn-out floors to their best condition.
