Hardwood floor refinishing in Wolseley
Wolseley has some of the oldest intact housing stock in the city, much of it pre-1920, and the floors in those houses are worth restoring rather than covering up. We work carefully in old, occupied, well-loved homes.
Old floors in an old neighbourhood
A lot of Wolseley went up before the First World War, which puts its floors a full generation older than most of River Heights. That usually means narrow strip oak or maple, occasionally a plainer softwood floor in a back room or on a service stair, and a house that has been renovated in pieces by several owners across a century. It is common to find three different floor treatments in one house and a patched section where a wall used to be.
In houses like these the goal is normally restoration rather than making something look brand new. Keeping the patina, the slight unevenness, and the colour the wood has earned is usually what the owner actually wants, and it is also the treatment that spends the least wood. We will recommend the lightest job that will genuinely work, which on a hundred-year-old floor is often a recoat.
Working cleanly in an occupied Wolseley home
Wolseley houses are lived in, full, and often shared, so dust control and staging matter as much as the sanding does. We will explain how our dust extraction works, how we seal off the rooms we are not in, and whether the job can be done a room at a time so you can stay in the house while it happens.
When you request a quote we come and assess the floors in person at no cost. You get a written scope with it: which rooms, how many coats, what finish, and whether any boards need lifting first. If the answer is that your floor has been sanded as far as it can go, we will tell you that too rather than take the job.
