Repairs During Wood Floor Restoration
Wood floor restoration often reveals underlying issues that aren’t visible until sanding begins. As part of our restoration service, we carry out necessary repairs to stabilise the floor, address damage and ensure a consistent result before finishing is applied.
Why Repairs Are Often Needed
Many older wood floors have experienced decades of movement, wear and previous alterations. Once the surface is stripped back, issues such as loose boards, splits, or historic damage become clear.
Addressing these problems before sanding is essential to prevent future movement, visible defects or premature wear.
Common Repair Work During Restoration
Replacing damaged or rotten boards
Securing loose or lifting boards
Filling deep gaps and splits
Structural edge and threshold repairs
Localised sub-floor corrections where accessible
Repairs Carried Out Before Sanding
Repairs are done before sanding, not after
Colour, grain, and size matching is prioritised
Boards are blended so repairs blend in once finished
Prevents issues showing through after finishing
Repairing Floors With Limited Wear Layers
Some floors have already been sanded multiple times and require a more cautious approach. Repairs are carried out with minimal material removal, protecting the remaining wear layer while still improving stability and appearance.
Domestic and Commercial Floor Repairs
Repair work during restoration is suitable for:
Period and traditional homes
Modern residential properties
Commercial buildings undergoing refurbishment
Each project is assessed individually to determine the most appropriate repair approach.
