Floor Sanding in Clapton, East London

Project Overview

This project involved floorboard sanding and restoration at a Victorian property in Clapton, East London (E5 0HB). The client required a full sanding, buffing and lacquering service across multiple rooms, along with stair sanding, board replacements and gap filling with slivers.

Before the Work

The floors showed years of wear with loose boards, widened gaps and a dull surface. The staircase needed attention alongside the main rooms, and one area required fireplace hearth removal before work could begin.

Our Approach

• Survey and assessment of all floor areas
• Loose board refitting before sanding
• Fireplace heart removal
• Floorboard replacement where required
• Gap filling with slivers for wider gaps
• Full sand, buff and lacquer across all rooms
• Stair sanding and sealing

The Result

The completed floor transformed the property. Boards were tight, gaps closed, and the lacquer finish brought the wood back to life. The client signed off the work on the day of completion.

Floor sanding in London typically costs between £25 and £45 per sqm depending on floor condition, room size and finish chosen.
