Floor Sanding Launceston

Launceston, St Stephen, Newport, Lawhitton, South Petherwin, Lezant, Egloskerry, Altarnun and Lifton, plus Callington, Holsworthy and across the Tamar into west Devon.

Refinishing an existing floor is usually acceptable, but lifting, replacing or altering historic timber can need listed building consent. Check with Cornwall Council conservation first. We are happy to speak to your officer.

Generally twenty-five to forty pounds a square metre for sanding and sealing. Parquet is higher, stairs are per tread, repairs quoted separately. The survey and written quote cost nothing.

Usually beautifully, but they need a light hand. Elm is soft and often thin by now, so we take off the minimum that will do the job rather than chasing a factory-flat surface.

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

Far less than you expect. Industrial extraction takes the great majority of dust at the machine, and we sheet doorways and clean as we go.

We take a reading before quoting. If it is wet, sanding will fail, so we tell you what to fix first, usually ventilation rather than anything dramatic, and come back when it is right.
