Pine Floorboard Restoration in Banstead, Surrey

Last week I carried out an old, pine floorboard restoration in Banstead, Surrey. Some of the existing floorboards were damaged, so I used reclaimed timber boards sourced from Dulwich Reclamation in South-East London, to replace them with. It is important to use reclaimed timber, rather than new 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 restoration process was carried out using my dust-free, Lagler floor-sanding machines which leave a flawless finish. I then sealed the boards with Bona Prime UX primer, followed by two coats of Bona Traffic varnish in a matt finish, which gives a slight sheen, but not too shiny. 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.
