The Golden Triangle, Thorpe Hamlet, Eaton, Heigham, Lakenham, Mousehold, Catton, Sprowston, Costessey and Hellesdon, plus Wymondham, Aylsham, Diss and the surrounding villages.

Usually very much so. Those houses have generous baltic redwood boards over ventilated voids, and most have been protected under carpet for decades. Tack holes, gripper damage and the dark carpet border all sand out.

Regularly. Norwich has an unusual amount of it. Original boards are usually part of what the listing protects, so we work to minimum intervention and can put our method in writing for your conservation officer.

Subfloor moisture, common on the low ground near the Wensum. Usually the airbricks have been rendered over or blocked by a patio or extension. The floor must dry and flatten before sanding, otherwise the boards end up thin down the middle.

Flint and brick walls move damp sideways into the joist bearings rather than up through the room, so rot there is more common here. It is far cheaper to find before we sand than after.

A commercial-grade lacquer rather than an oil. It takes more abuse, recoats quickly between tenancies and needs less maintenance. We work to changeover windows so the property is ready for the new intake.

Yes. Part E sets sound insulation standards between dwellings and floor treatment forms part of meeting them. We provide written specifications for licensing applications.

On every job as standard and at no extra charge. Sealed extraction captures the dust at the machine, which matters especially in old properties where dust travels through gaps you cannot see.

It depends on size, condition, timber and finish. Listed and period work takes longer because of the lighter approach needed. We give a fixed written price after surveying.

Yes, with no obligation, and we will tell you honestly if a buff and recoat would serve you better than a full sand.
