Assess before committing
Existing finishes, loose boards, repairs and sanding depth can change what is achievable. Discuss those points before selecting a colour or treating a guide price as a final quote.

Meet Adam O’Callaghan
A trade learned early.A craft still enjoyed.
Adam started sanding floors straight after leaving school and has spent over 20 years working in the trade. He takes pride in the work and still enjoys seeing the end result of each job. Adam founded AOC Sanding, which has been trading for more than two years. The 20+ years is his individual hands-on experience, rather than a claim that AOC Sanding has traded for 20 years.
AOC Sanding helps homeowners and commercial customers care for their wooden surfaces. Floor sanding, restoration and refinishing sit alongside repairs, floorboard replacement, gap filling, staining, lacquering and hardwax oil. Wooden worktops, table tops and staircases also deserve an assessment suited to their construction and use.
Based in N12 9RU, Adam covers Finchley, North London and Hertfordshire, up to a 50-mile radius from Barnet. The starting point is your postcode, the surface you have and what you would like to change. A worn floor may have useful life left in it, but suitability and the remaining timber must be checked before deciding on sanding.
Explore wood floor restorationMission & standards
Keep the character.Agree the practical details.
Prepare for the right result
Repairs and surface preparation belong in the same conversation as sanding and finishing. Agree which areas are included and how adjoining rooms, edges and thresholds will be handled.
Choose around everyday use
Lacquer, hardwax oil and staining offer different possibilities. Timber condition, your preferred appearance and how you use the room should guide the choice, with realistic expectations about marks and wear.
Care beyond completion
Ask for care advice suited to the finish and discuss concerns directly with Adam. Re-visits are available if needed; this is not an unconditional guarantee against future wear, movement or damage.
Confirmed experience.Clear reassurance.
Adam is Lägler-trained and uses Lägler machinery for floor sanding with up to 98% dust-free operation. That reduces dust substantially; it does not mean every task is completely dustless.
AOC Sanding holds public liability insurance. If your building manager needs documentation or a specific cover limit, request confirmation. Quotes are free, with no quote fee, and payment by cash or bank transfer is available.
No local job count, review score or arrival-time promise is claimed here. Ask about your own surface and agree the scope and timing directly.
