"As I had hired companies before that specialised in renovating wooden floors, I was always disappointed with the end result because further work had to be completed in order to correct their mistakes. I've always wanted a wooden floor which wouldn't look out of place if it appeared in a home design catalogue. When I explained to Andrew and his colleagues about what my expectations were, they reassured me that they could do this work Although I was apprehensive, I was impressed about their product knowledge and their professional approach, and they seemed to be very experienced. When they had finished their work, I shouldn't have worried because I was amazed at what they had done. My dream wooden floor was now a reality. I can't thank you enough."

"Although my family and I wanted to move into a new build, we were amazed and eventually wowed over by a property that dates from the 1920s. So we bought it! However, as with old buildings, we inherited many structural problems which we hadn't thought about when we signed the mortgage contract, such as sub-standard floors that had succumbed to years of dry rot. That's when Andrew and his team came to help us. We explained that the whole of our downstairs floor needed to be replaced. We were given a very reasonable quote and, when we agreed about when the work would commence, we headed off to a friend's house until the work was completed. After a very short time we got the call that our house was ready - amazing how quickly Andrew and the team managed to get everything done! When we returned home, the floors looked brand new and exceeded our expectations. I'll certainly be recommending you to our family and work colleagues!"

"When I decided to sell my home, there seemed to be no problems at all. This situation changed when I started to replace the carpet in my dining room. I wanted to create a showroom which would impress any person who was interested in buying my home. However, I was stopped in my tracks when I saw what lay beneath my dishevelled carpet. There were unsightly stains around my floor which looked disgusting, not the sort of thing that a prospective buyer would want to see! So, I decided to contact your team to find out if anything could be done, and I couldn't have asked for a more professional or friendly service. When you did a survey for me, I was told exactly what needed to be done and the price I was quoted was the price I paid - no nasty surprises hiding at the bottom of the final bill! Thankfully, work proceeded from there and, as I write this, I'm very impressed at my superb looking floorboards, which must have increased the value of my home by thousands."

Refinishing a hardwood floor hidden under carpet

Many homes have hardwood floors hidden beneath carpet. There was a period in the 60s where carpeted floors became hugely popular and many carpets were laid on top of perfectly good hardwood floors, so there are loads of houses with hidden hardwood floors waiting for some floor sanding and polishing to bring them back to life. Here we consider the steps to refinishing a hardwood floor that is hidden under carpet.

Locate and check the hardwood floor

Most importantly you need to have an existing hardwood floor that is in a condition fit for repair. You need to pull up your carpet to check this but should do so carefully in case you want to replace it. Consider where old chimney stacks sit and check these areas for fire damage and hidden concrete hearth bases as these are the most common limiting factors in rejuvenating a hardwood floor under carpet.

Remove the carpet and foam

Next, you need to remove the carpet and the foam padding. Take out the carpet staples and remove any nails or staples that are in the wood. Take care not to damage the wood further in this process.

Install edging for any remaining carpet

You will need to edge any remaining carpet to create a boundary up to which you treat the hardwood. Creating a boundary will make the sanding and polishing easier and will also make it easier to protect any remaining carpet that you wish to keep, so do this before you begin sanding and polishing the hardwood floor.

Sand your floor

You should then begin floor sanding with good ventilation. This will enable you to take a few millimetres off the boards and bring their natural beauty out again. If the wood has been painted or treated as it often has then you may need to sand deeper to bring the natural colour out. You should start floor sanding with a coarse grain and work down to a finer grain that smooths the wood out beautifully.

Stain the floor

The final step it to treat or stain your floor to protect it. Choosing the right stain is important and you should always test it on a small area that will be out of sight before you do the whole thing. This will make it easier to change if you have a change of heart about the colour or depth of the stain. Use a few coats of the stain to achieve the best result.
