Frequently asked questions.
- Will there be any dust?
Our sanding machines are extremely efficient in collecting the dust from the floor, however there will always be a slight dust settling on surfaces in the room.
- Will there be a strong odour from the varnish?
That depends on which varnish is used. Water based varnish is just as hard wearing as oil based varnish and it only leaves a slight odour compared to oil based varnish.
- Can you fit a new floor for me?
Yes, please use the contact page to phone or e-mail me.
- How long will it be before I can put my furniture back?
6-8 hours after the last coat of varnish. 24 hours if using an oil based varnish.
- How much will it cost?
Not every floor requires the same amount of work. There may be none or very few gaps to fill. You might want us to stain the floor. You may want to varnish the floor yourself. Please contact me through e-mail or phone for a free quote.
- How long will it take?
A medium sized room ( 5m x 5m ) would normally take 2 or 3 days to complete from start to finish. Furniture can usually be put back 6-8 hours after the third coat of varnish providing you are using a water based varnish..
- Can my floor be sanded?
All solid floors can be sanded.
- What if I want my floor stained?
Your floor can be stained to any colour you want. A test will be applied to a separate piece of wood and only when you are happy with the colour then the stain will be applied to the floor.
