Not only do we remove & replace boards, but sometimes we can effect a repair to a badly damaged floor in other ways. Such is the case here.
This room has been used over the years firstly, as a Laundry, followed by a Kitchen and now it's been converted into a Bedroom. From it's earlier life as a Laundry & Kitchen many layers of Masonite had been stapled to the boards and each time a new floor covering went down, rather than pulling out the old staples they were simply just banged over, then the next lot hammered in. Somewhere along the line, an attempt was made to remove a lot of staples with an angle grinder, leaving a shitload of deep ruts in the floor from the grinding wheel.
So, rather than rip it all out, or go over the top with new boards, due to the owners wanting to keep the floor at it's original height, it was decided to fix it this way. Simply put, we sanded the guts out of it. Then painstakingly punched down each & every nail and staple in the floor. This punching is done throughout the whole sanding process, so by the time we get to the point of the 'Super Fine' sanding, all traces of the staples are buried beneath the surface.
We then fine sand the floor to a really smooth finish, give it a decent vacuum then proceed to fill each & every hole in the room. Once all of the holes are filled, the surface gets sanded once more to remove any excess putty from the filling process. This leaves it all silky, smooth ready for the application of the two pac polyurethane.
As you can see, it all cleaned up, and sanded up, to become a grouse looking floor without the added time & expense of a complete rebuild.
Another fabulous result.
