The loose blocks needed more attention than I'd realised. Ryan showed us which areas were affected and explained the repair work before we agreed to it.
That made sense to me. It's all firm now and the finished surface looks even right across the room.

The hardest part for us was choosing the colour. My husband wanted darker, I wanted lighter, neither of us could explain much beyond that.
Looking at samples on our actual floor helped enormously and we found one we both liked. No compromise face from either of us when it was finished! The room looks lovely and we can finally get on with choosing a sofa.

I was more concerned about the repair than the sanding. A plank beside the hearth had a damaged edge and caught the eye whenever you entered.
The replacement has been fitted with care and sits well alongside the existing wood. With the floor finished, that area looks much more settled. A pleasing standard of workmanship.

The sanding has made the herringbone stand out much more clearly. Before, I mostly noticed the worn patch across the middle.
Now the whole floor looks good together. We chose a fairly quiet finish and it suits the room.

My sister had used them for her kitchen and suggested I ring. I needed the work fairly quickly and they managed to fit us in.
Their quote wasn't the lowest, although they did explain the cost. What I've found useful since is the aftercare sheet. The floor is holding up well and I know what to use on it now.

Wasn't convinced you could sand an engineered floor. Ours has come up lovely though, changes the feel of the room completely.

First time owning an engineered floor and I managed to scare myself reading about veneers. My husband thought we should leave it alone.
They came to assess it and said there was enough timber in the sitting room for sanding. I probably watched them more than I needed to, especially round the edges. The rest of the house stayed usable and we moved the furniture back when they'd advised. It feels warmer in there now. Even my husband agrees it was worth doing!

Love the softer finish we picked, the old one showed every little scuff and drove me mad.

Can finally stop arranging the armchair to hide the worst patch! The room feels much easier to furnish now.
I moved everything round when it was ready to use again and there's a lovely stretch of oak showing between the sofa and the window. Very happy with the finish we chose.

Our front room was the last room left to tackle and by then I was thoroughly fed up with having work done. This was actually one of the easier jobs to organise.
We knew when the room needed to be empty and when we could use it again. And the floor is gorgeous, which helps!

Please thank Ryan for going through the timings with me again at the end. I'd remembered when we could walk on it but muddled that up with when everything else could go back.
We waited as advised. The room is all together now and the floor has a beautiful gentle sheen.

Wish we'd got round to the hallway sooner. We'd been looking at that dull finish for years!
They replaced a couple of boards and recoated the others, which has brought the grain out nicely. Allow for the drying time though, it was a few days before it was all ready.
