Standard Floor Sanding and Restoration

 

As a rough guide, most floors require sanding down to bare wood and three coats of water based varnish applied. (matt varnish is most natural and most popular). An average sized room (with no special requirements) can be completed in a day. If gap filling and or stain is required please add another half - full day. If a stain is required, then this is done before the varnish and must be left for two hours before the first coat of varnish is applied. Each coat of varnish must be left for one hour before the next coat is applied. Two hours after the third coat is applied you can walk on the floor in stocking feet.

Curing is complete after 24- 48 hours. This depends on the weather conditions and air circulation in the house. Furniture can be ‘placed’ in position after approx 24 hours. It is best not to walk on the floor in shoes for 48 hours.

 

  • Guide price for standard  floor sanding - £25 - £30 per square metre.

Gap Filling

Most floors do not require gap filling. But if after your floor sanding the gaps between your floor boards are too wide and you wish to have them filled, either for draught exclusion or aesthetics, then we have three methods:


Resin and Dust Gap filling

Suitable for up to 3mm gaps, this is the most economic way but due to the nature of the resin cannot be guaranteed as it can move and fall out.
 

  • Guide Price for gap filling with Resin and dust: £5 per square metre


Flexible Rubber Draft Excluder

Gaps are thoroughly cleaned out before installing the draft excluder. The benefit of this method is twofold; you don't need to sand the floor beforehand and it still retains the authentic Victorian aesthetic of the floor.

 

  • Guide price for gap filling with flexible rubber draft excluder: £9 per square metre

 

Reclaimed Wood Fillets

This is the more expensive but guaranteed option. Fillets of reclaimed wood are cut to size, glued into position on the joists and then sanded and varnished with the whole floor. (If a stain is required then new wood fillets can be used)
 

  • Guide Price for gap filling with Wood Fillets : £15 per square metre

 

Additional considerations

Furniture

All furniture needs to be removed from the rooms before sanding and restoration can begin. You can do this yourselves or we can do it for a small charge.


Rubbish Removal

FSAR operators will leave your home as you’d wish to find it and most rubbish can be placed in your own domestic bins. If there is additional rubbish to be removed they can organise a local rubbish collector to do this for you at a small cost.
