I have seen a Refurbished floor at my friends house, Can you guarantee our floor will look like their floor ??

Hello and Welcome to another WFR Blog Post.


This post is a question I've been asked several times, there isn't a straightforward answer to it as there are so many variables to take into account when trying to reason out an answer....


The Question is "I have seen a Refurbished floor at my friends house, Can you guarantee our floor will look like their floor ??"

No we can't..... there are too many variables to take into account when comparing floors, For example Old Pine floors are still old floors, some may sand up beautifully and clean but others may not, your floor may be riddled with woodworm, your friends may not.


There may be shading around the edges caused by Bitumen, Sunlight, Leaks, carpet backing, spills and any number of different things that may have happened to the floor over the decades, cuts from stanley knives where carpet has been layed and cut are sometimes very deep and cannot be sanded out.


Saw cuts from plumbing work usually makes a complete mess of the wood floor, this can be fixed by replacing the boards, but remember, original floorboards may be well over 100 years old, this needs to be taken into account when drawing comparisons, also it may well be nigh on impossible to find replacement boards to match very old material......you will need to bear this in mind....... 


We can make the best of the floor you have already have , but we cannot make them new again.



Thanks for Reading.
