Wooden Floor Sanding
Reveal the character beneath tired, scratched boards with carefully considered sanding and a fresh finish.

Your original floors. Their full potential.
Expert sanding, careful repairs and beautiful finishes — from a craftsman with over 20 years’ experience.
There is something special about a wooden floor that has been given the care it deserves. The grain, the warmth and the character are already there. AOC Sanding helps bring them back into view with floor sanding, repairs and refinishing across Finchley, North London and Hertfordshire.
Behind AOC Sanding is Adam O’Callaghan. Adam started sanding floors straight after leaving school and has spent over 20 years in the trade. He takes great pride in his work and still thoroughly enjoys seeing the end result of each job. Whether it is a period floorboard, a well-used staircase or a wooden worktop, that same care matters.

Talk about your floor
Start with your postcode, the surface you would like restored and a few details about its condition. Adam can discuss the work with you and provide a free quote. This is the opportunity to ask questions and consider your options.
A good result starts with the floor underneath. Board changes, repairs and gap filling can be considered where needed, alongside the sanding work. Discuss any loose, damaged or missing boards so the scope of the work is clear.
Sanding reveals the wood beneath the worn surface. Lacquer, hardwax oil or staining can then help achieve the appearance you are looking for. Your existing floor and preferred look guide the conversation about the right finishing choice.
