Based in Norwich (UK) we specialise in wooden floor restoration and re-finishing to the highest professional standards. Using what are widely recognised throughout the industry, as the best floor sanding machines on the market, made in Germany by the Lgler Company. With a back ground in furniture making and many years experience in carpentry as well as wooden floor restoration and sanding, our emphasis has always been on quality of craftsmanship and attention to detail. Whatever your requirements are; From fine finishing of a new wooden floor, to a complete restoration of an old floor in need of remedial work, insulating and gap filling, prior to re-finishing.
Finishing: On completion of the fine sanding your floor will now be ready for the application of the chosen finishing products that will protect and give your floor the desired look that you want for many years. There are many different products available, a lot of good ones, and some not so suited. We will only use proven, quality products designed for floor finishing from reputable manufacturers, and whenever possible, use environmentally friendly products. Premier Floor Sanding & Wood Floor Restoration & Carpentry are based in Norwich.
Lgler have developed a range of machines to cover all aspects of floor sanding and finishing, with very efficient dust collection systems. They have also researched floor sanding techniques and have developed a system, which we have been trained in by them, to maximise the potential of their machines, when used together. The "HUMMEL" belt sanding machine is the best known floor sanding machine in the world, with thousands of models in use across the globe. Mature, long-life technology for perfect sanding quality and enormous machine power have made it the undisputed number one system for parquet floor finishing for decades.
Remedial Work: By the very nature of floor restoration, most floors will require a certain amount of making good before the sanding and finishing processes. From fixing down a loose board, filling gaps, or replacing damaged boards and joists, adding insulation beneath suspended floors or even replacing the whole floor. We are able to advise on and undertake the necessary floor repairs before sanding and finishing. If your floor restoration is part of a bigger renovation project; the whole room, or maybe the complete house, then it could be beneficial to consider at which stage to do the floor finishing work in relation to the other aspects of the project.
Sanding: Once the remedial work has been undertaken, or having laid a new floor, the sanding process can begin. For old, uneven floors and those that have an old coating on that needs to be removed we begin with our "Hummel" belt sander. This will cleanly and efficiently remove old finishes and level the floor ready for fine finishing with the "Trio" orbital sander. On new floors that are already level we can often go straight onto the fine finishing sander. This forty year old Iroko parquet had seen better days.
