Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Can anyone recommend someone to professionally sand our floorboards?

From previous posts on HoL we've got a quote from The Wood Floor Sanding Co and will be in contact with Yannis who did Cllr Karen Alexander's.

Any recommendations gratefully received.

Thanks Neil. Peter is coming over this evening to quote for the job.

Incidentally, I noticed a lot of your historical posts have been deleted. A shame as you have offered some very useful advice/recommendations.

Any other recommendations please? We'd like to have one more quote.

I've mentioned him before on here but Jay Sinclair is really good and recently sanded our kitchen floor at what I thought was a very reasonable rate, did a good job of it, too:

Thanks for the recommendation SoTo.

Neil, I've had four quotes now for floor sanding and all of them recommended slivers apart from the quotation I received tonight (possibly because I gave them the impression I wanted them). The chap I met is very experienced and swore by the saw dust and resin method. He explained in detail his reasons for this, such as to retain the integrity of the existing floorboards and their colour by not introducing inferior timber slivers. Cost was another factor. Can I ask your thoughts on this point? Did Petr do slithers on your floors?

Also, for anyone trying to contact Yannis, I left several messages for him but never heard back.

Hi Nicholas, just wondered what you ended up going for, and if you would be happy to disclose an approximate cost per room? I was wondering about doing ours myself, but it's such a big, messy job and easy to get wrong, so it would be good to have an idea how much the professionals charge.

We used Petr from PK Wood Flooring. We're very happy with the result. I wouldn't recommend doing a big job yourself, especially if you wish to have slithers inserted in the gaps between your floorboards. I'd rather not disclose the cost here, but if you send me a connection request, I can let you know (he would however give you a free quote).

HI...we are looking to get our floors sanded and wondered who you eventually used or could recommend?

many thanks

As above, PK Wood Flooring. I would try and wait until Petr is available (presuming he is booked out for months as was the case for us).
