Floor Sanding Blandford Forum

Blandford Forum, Blandford St Mary, Pimperne, Charlton Marshall, Spetisbury, Durweston, Stourpaine, Winterborne Stickland, Milton Abbas and Child Okeford, plus Wimborne, Sturminster Newton and Shaftesbury.

Refinishing an existing floor is normally acceptable, but lifting, replacing or altering historic timber can require listed building consent from Dorset Council. In central Blandford, always check first.

Generally twenty-five to forty pounds a square metre for sanding and sealing, and forty to sixty for parquet. Stairs are per tread and repairs quoted separately. Survey and quote are free.

Almost always moisture from a sub-floor void that has stopped breathing. Near the Stour the water table is high, and blocked or buried airbricks make it worse.

We use industrial extraction which captures the great majority of dust at source. That matters in a house with lime plaster and cornices, where fine dust is hard to remove safely.

A single room is around two days and a full downstairs three to four. Oil wants a day before light use and a week before rugs. Lacquer cures faster.
