Solid Wood Floor Sanding and Restoration in Blackheath

When visiting the property to measure for a new wood floor installation, we discovered an original solid wood herringbone floor hidden beneath the existing carpet. The homeowners were unaware it was there and assumed replacement was the only option.

Despite years of wear and visible damage, the floor had excellent potential. Rather than installing new boards, we restored the existing timber, preserving the character of the home while significantly reducing costs.

After careful repairs, sanding and refinishing, the original herringbone pattern was revealed and transformed into a rich, durable feature that now defines both the hallway and lounge.

Key Features

  • Original solid oak herringbone flooring uncovered
  • Structural repairs and gap filling completed
  • Professional sanding to remove surface damage
  • Three coats of high-durability lacquer applied
  • Cost-effective alternative to full floor replacement

The Vision

To preserve the character of the home by restoring the original solid wood floor rather than replacing it.

The Process

Careful repair work, professional sanding and three coats of lacquer were applied to protect and enhance the natural wood grain.

The Outcome

A beautifully restored herringbone floor that looks brand new while retaining its original charm, saving the client money and adding long-term value to the property.
