Quicksand Flooring provides a complete commercial floor restoration service for businesses in London, offering installation and repair for all types of wooden flooring. This includes full wood sanding services for high traffic lacquer floors, needed for heavy usage and football. We also work out of hours if required to ensure minimum disruption to your business and income. We pride ourselves on being able to offer a fast and efficient service with a quick turnaround for all our commercial flooring.
We commence by sanding down the existing floor. We use five grades of abrasive belts decreasing in coarseness upon each sand. This wood floor sanding process not only prevents damage to the floor but allows each sand to become finer and therefore smoother. As we are experts in floor sanding, we leave a perfect finish with no scuffs or marks. When this is achieved, we apply the stain (if required), followed by 2 to 3 coats of wax, oil or seal, according to the customer’s preference. This is buffed after each application to prevent any undulations from occurring on the surface and to ensure that your floor looks fantastic.
Filling is a floor restoration technique used on old floors and floorboards that are uneven, full of gaps and looking past their best. The traditional method is to mass fill a floor, as opposed to spot filling. This process takes the clean dust from the floor and mixes it with an oil-based resin. Once our expert achieves the correct density, we use a flat trowel to fill all the gaps, creating a level and aesthetically-pleasing result.
Most flooring can be filled depending on the age and condition of the floor, including parquet, herringbone, strip and original floorboards. We do, however, recommend that the gaps in the floorboards be no bigger than 2 to 3 mm for this technique, otherwise the filler may fall through over time. If you are worried about floorboard draughts,we can also supply and fit a clear plastic transparent strip. Our experts fit this between floorboards and it is invisible to the eye.
Below are some of our case studies of wood floor sanding in London and the Southeast commercial properties, although Quicksand also offers many home services. In each case, the final result is a beautiful floor with a high quality and professional finish that not only fitted the customer’s specifications, but made them very happy too!
Generally speaking, you’ll need to get your flooring professionally cleaned annually to restore the wood’s natural finish. We recommend cleaning your flooring regularly to prevent grime and dirt from accumulating. Using a gentle cleaning product will keep your floors gleaming until their next professional polish is due, without damaging the natural grain.
The cost of your floor cleaning depends on the type of natural wood floorboards and how well you’ve restored them over the years. We approach every one of our cases individually, depending on the size and scale of your project.
Whether your business is a school, swimming pool or national theatre, our professional team gives your wooden flooring a new lease of life. Get in touch to discuss your business’s needs with our commercial floor cleaning specialists.
