What is tongue and groove floor restoration?

Tongue and groove flooring is a classic, durable choice found in many London homes and businesses, providing a seamless, elegant finish. But over time, even solid wood floors can experience wear and tear. Scratches, dents, gaps, and other imperfections develop due to foot traffic, moisture, and ageing. Proper wood floor restoration is essential to revive wooden floors, preserving both their appearance and structural integrity.

The restoration process typically involves specialised steps like wood floor repairs, sanding the floor, and refinishing with high-quality treatments. Issues such as warping, splintering, and uneven surfaces are addressed to ensure the floor remains smooth, functional, and visually stunning. Instead of replacing your flooring, restoring it allows you to maintain its original charm while improving its durability.

A well-restored tongue and groove floor enhances the look of any space and increases property value. With professional floor restoration services, homeowners and business owners can enjoy flawless wooden floors that stand the test of time. Whether it’s oak floorings, pine floorboards, or engineered wood flooring, the right approach ensures a long-lasting finish that retains the natural beauty of the wood.

General wooden floor restoration

First, we use an appropriate coarse sanding grit to methodically level and clean the floor, removing any imperfections or old finishes. This initial pass is then followed by multiple stages of progressively finer grits, which steadily refine the surface to achieve a flawlessly smooth finish. Specialist equipment such as the mini edge sander is employed to tackle hard-to-reach corners and the areas around radiator pipes, ensuring every inch of your wooden floor is perfectly prepared. Finally, the freshly sanded floor is primed and sealed with a premium lacquer or oil, safeguarding its natural beauty and extending its lifespan.

With our advanced sanding machinery and expert techniques, floor sanding has never been easier. We guarantee top-notch results for any wooden floor in or around your home. Even with consistent care, hardwood floors can still develop splits or cracks, gaps between boards, buckling, dents, warps, and scratches over time. Our comprehensive approach smooths out these imperfections and renews the floor’s surface, providing a durable finish that stands up to daily wear while enhancing the beauty of your home.

Engineered wood floor restoration

Restoring engineered wood flooring to its original beauty requires expertise, precision, and a deep understanding of the materials, and at BaMaPa Clean, we specialise in professional restoration services that exceed expectations. Engineered wood, while durable and versatile, can begin to show signs of wear over time. Scratches, dullness, discolouration, and a loss of finish can result from daily use, furniture movement, improper cleaning techniques, or exposure to harsh elements. That’s where our skilled team comes in, delivering tailored solutions to restore your floors to their former glory.

Our expert technicians handle even the toughest wear and tear, carefully addressing surface imperfections, smoothing out scratches, and revitalising the natural lustre of your floors using advanced cleaning and restoration techniques. We use only top-quality tools and proven methods to ensure your flooring not only looks better but also lasts longer. From removing stubborn stains and scuffs to applying protective finishes, we enhance the durability and appearance of your floors, making them resistant to future damage.

The importance of professional hardwood strip floor restoration

Hardwood floors are a timeless feature in many London properties, admired for their natural beauty and durability. However, over time, even the most well-maintained wooden floors can lose their shine due to foot traffic, spills, and general wear and tear. Scratches, stains, and dull finishes can make strip wood floors, parquet flooring, or solid wood flooring appear tired and neglected. Professional restoration is the best way to revive their natural wood charm, bringing back their original luster and ensuring their longevity.

DIY attempts to restore the condition of the floor often fall short of achieving professional-grade results. Without the right tools and expertise, such as professional floor sanders, uneven sanding, poor refinishing, or improper floor staining can cause more harm than good. A professional service ensures the job is completed with precision, from preparing the floor surface to applying the final floor finish, protecting the structural integrity of the wood.

Our specialist equipment guarantees excellent quality

Floor sanding has never been so easy! Our specialist equipment guaranteed to produce excellent sanding quality for any wooden floor in and around your house. Over time and even with careful use, hardwood floors can develop splits or cracks in the wood, gaps between the boards, buckling, dents, warps and scratches.

Process:

1.⁠ ⁠Preparation of the floor before sanding
We’ll inspect the floor to ensure all nails are well below the wood surface. All loose board will be secured before the floor sanding commences.

2.⁠ ⁠High filtration vacuum
We’ll remove all dry soil and particles that might cause damage to the wood during the floor sanding process.

3.⁠ ⁠Minor repairs:
We’ll repair slightly moving boards, punch in protruding nails or add some where they are missing.

4.⁠ ⁠Filling
We’ll fill the gaps and holes with a fine floor dust and resin mix. This ensures uniform colour as the same wood is used to fill the holes as the boards themselves.

5.⁠ ⁠Sanding of the main floor
The system we use is 98% dust free as we use an advanced extraction system. Progressively finer grit sanders on the belt sander will ensure a high quality finish.

6.⁠ ⁠Edges and detailing
Our edge sander delivers a uniform finish to your wood floor including all edges and hard to reach places such as under fixed furniture and radiators.
A fine grit floor sanding system will deliver a superior and even finish to the whole floor area. This is done by a rotary sander.

7.⁠ ⁠Finish

For lacquer finishing we apply a primer to the sanded floor followed by one coat of water based lacquer. Once the first coat has cured, the floor will be prepared for further 2 coats of lacquer. Be aware that it will take up to 8 hrs (humidity, ambient temperature and airflow dependent) for the floor to cure enough to allow light foot traffic.

For oil finish two applications of hard wax oil on your wooden floor will deliver a beautiful natural finish that is moisture and dirt resistant. Be aware that if will take up to 4 hrs (humidity, ambient temperature and airflow dependent) for the floor to cure enough to allow light foot traffic.

Furniture can only move back 24 hours after foot traffic has commenced. Avoid dragging furniture on a freshly lacquered or oiled floor surface. Curing and drying time depends on weather conditions and air flow, ambient tempearture and humidity.
