Step Back Into Old Sydenham

The area was well wooded and its timber favoured for the building of Elizabethan fighting ships. It was known as ‘The Forest’ until the end of the 18th century. It had a brief period of fashionable popularity when medicinal waters were discovered (in what is now Wells Park). The spread of suburbia and the railways (following the course of the short-lived Croydon canal) swept away the charms of the countryside.

Sydenham appeared the ideal choice for the erection of the Crystal Palace when the Great Exhibition of 1851 ended. This splendid building with its 25 acres of glass held magnificent concerts until the fire of 1936 – perhaps the most astonishing funeral pyre ever seen in England.

A big, big thank you for all of your brilliant work. When we decided to have our floors sanded, we were very concerned because we didn't want this to create a lot of dust and mess, as we have some rather precious family heirlooms. We shouldn't have worried because hardly any dust was generated. I don’t know how you did it! The nails that were sticking out of our floorboards could have caused a lot of pain if we stood on them but, because your team knew exactly what they were doing, this is not a problem anymore because they were removed and the finish was flawless. As our sanding was completed on time, the quote which you gave us was also very reasonable as well. We'll be passing on your details to our friends who want their floors sanded.

“As I write this, it's hard to believe that my floors were once in such a bad condition that I thought my floors were completely beyond repair, especially as they looked as though Steptoe’s Junkyard was filmed here! However, when I contacted you about replacing the whole of my floor, I thought that you wouldn't take the job on because it seemed nearly impossible to fix the many problems which were apparent. When you completed work on time, my budget wasn't exceeded and my floor now looks good enough to eat off. Great work and if I need to contact someone about repairing floors in my other properties, I know who to get in touch with."

A thank you to Andrew and his team because I honestly thought my floor couldn't be repaired and that 1 was staring at a massive bill for a complete replacement. My home isn't new that build build. In fact, I think the deeds go back to the 1880s. Well, that must have been the last time the floor had been repaired because it was in a shocking condition! t

Refinishing a century old hardwood floor
If you own a period property, then the chances are you have beautiful old hardwood floorboards and you’ll want to restore them to bring them back to life. It’s a job you can tackle yourself, but you’ll need to proceed with care to preserve the character and the charm of your floor.
Assess your floor
Before you take any course of action, you’ll need to do an in-depth visual inspection of the floorboards to assess whether they’re worth refinishing. Superficial damage can usually be removed by floor sanding and finishing, but if there are signs of deeper damage including discolouration and staining, or floorboards not lying flat then you’ll need to seek expert advice. If you notice that the edges of the floorboards are thin or cracked, you may not be able to refinish them at all so it’s worth consulting a floor sanding professional.
Fill, sand and finish

If your century-old floorboards are good candidates for sanding and finishing, then you’ll need to prepare them as you would for any floor: search for nails and countersink them and fill any gaps between the floorboards in the most sympathetic manner. Remember that a hundred or so years of fluctuations in humidity are bound to have taken their toll, so be gentle when you make your repairs.

When it comes to sanding, you need to take the same amount of care. After all, a belt sander may rip through the finish more quickly but it can also damage old boards in a few minutes. If you’re uncertain about the condition of your floorboards, then a chemical stripper followed by a light sand with an orbital sander will significantly reduce the risk of damage.

Finally, to preserve the antique patina of your floorboards you may prefer to apply an oil rather than a polyurethane. Although poly is tough, it can also create a plasticised finish which is quite wrong for older floorboards. Using oil will nourish and protect the wood from within and create a sympathetic and natural finish.

Try a screen and refinish
If the floorboards are too damaged to be sanded and refinished, try keying the old finish using a technique called a screen and refinish. This will allow you to apply a new layer of finish over your floorboards without stripping them back to the raw wood. However, be aware that this technique is only suitable if your floorboards aren’t in need of major repair.
