Hardwood floor finishing London

Finishing gives texture, colour and durability to your floor The finish of a hardwood floor is an important element of the floor design. Most floors are supplied pre- or semi-finished and sealed using hard wax oils and lacquers that give a natural look. Products are constantly being improved through technology. We keep abreast of the latest products or learn new techniques to improve the way we use them. For example, wetting a floor to raise the grain before applying a colour oil to give a richer, deeper colour. We can also mix colours into some of the lacquers can achieve stunning new effects. We will provide you with samples of different colours, on your floor while we work. Once you have decided which one you like we will sand them off and apply the chosen colour.   For an extra cost, we can show the effects of colour mixes as samplers on the actual floor so you can make a choice in the context and natural light of the room. In areas that are going to receive extra wear and tear, for example, the entrance to a showroom or store, the floor of a museum, a restaurant or a kitchen – anywhere that needs to keep its good looks, the choice of hardwood as well as the finish are especially important.

Our dust-free sanding machines remove surface grime and create a perfectly even floor.

Buffing smooths the wood surface to a beautiful silky finish.

Our powerful buffing machines have a clockwise-rotating base while the four sanding discs rotate anti-clockwise.

We use a special machine to apply the finishing hard wax oil so it penetrates the surface evenly. We can also tint the oil to render the exact colour you want.

We are absolutely delighted with our floors from HS Wood Flooring. Tim's team were professional, calm, reassuring. They provided an excellent, smooth service, were transparent and time efficient. Tim took so much time in preparing samples so we got the colour just right and went out of his way to re-stain and re-oil the floor after our decorators made a complete mess of it. The quotes were detailed and transparent.
