Pine Floorboard Restoration in Redhill, Surrey

Last week I carried out a pine floorboard restoration in Redhill, Surrey. Some of the boards were broken, and a concrete hearth area needed filling in with timber, so I used reclaimed timber boards sourced from Dulwich Reclamation in South-East London. It is important to use reclaimed timber when replacing old floorboards as that gives the best colour match, if brand new boards are put in, they will stand out from the rest of the floor, and look completely different to the original floorboards.

The floor sanding was carried out using my dust-free, Lagler floor-sanding machines which leave an amazing finish. I then sealed the boards with Bona Natural primer,  followed by two coats of Bona Traffic varnish. Bona Traffic is a very heavy duty wood floor varnish, designed for high foot traffic areas such as school halls, shops, restaurants etc.. It has a special hardening agent in it which gives a really wear resistant finish, and lasts for years.

The photos below show the process from start to finish, the top photos are of the finished floor, following through to the ‘before pictures’ at the bottom, where the floor is very old and orange looking.
