The Sanding Process
Get a Quick Quote
Stage 1 : Repairing your Floor
Floorboards may look in bad condition as they have never seen the light of day. Plumbers and electricians may have cut through the boards leaving them looking a mess these can easily be fixed by using reclaimed pine floorboards to replaced damaged boards and matched with your existing floor..
Stage 2: Filling the Gaps Between Boards
Gap filling a floor is an option that many people like since it brings a uniform finish to the floor. Because of the circulation of cold air brought in through the air bricks; gap filling insulates the your living area and stops draughts. It also prevents a build up of dirt between floor boards.
Stage 3: Sanding your floor
GJP Floor Sanding Brighton pride ourselves on professional floor sanding & finishing. We only use the best German made “Hummel” and Swedish made “Bonner” sanding equipment, which includes a powerful vacuum system / dust extraction systems on these machines results in around 3-5% dust.
Stage 4: Staining / Choose a Colour
Staining a floor to express yourself and can add a wonderful depth and warmth to the wood floor. Popular choices include walnut and antique pine. Staining your floor can bring warm, rich tones to a room. GJP Floor Sanding Brighton uses Morrells litefast floor stains for superior results. Morrells Floor Stains are hard wearing, fast drying and high opacity for an unbeatable color depth and excellent grain definition.
Stage 5: Refinishing your Floor
Once a floor has been completely sanded it is extremely porous & requires finishing with lacquer (varnish) or oil to protect it. Lacquer is the most practical, attractive & hard wearing, way to finish a floor & necessitates the least maintenance all round. The quality of the seal that goes onto your floor is perhaps the most important part of the entire sanding process.
Optional: Fire Hearth Removal
Our professional Brighton floor sanders can chase out unwanted fire hearths. We provide a thorough service which includes the uplift of surrounding flooring and replacing the void with reclaimed floor boards removing every trace of the original hearth. Click here to find out more.

We had all the carpets taken up in the Victorian house we recently moved into. The old wooden floors and stairs were in dire need of a sanding.We have had compliments from everyone who has visited the home, including other tradesmen. We are delighted with the work and would happily recommend GJP Flooring to anyone.

GJP did a fantastic job sanding and resealing our original pine floorboards, restoring them to their natural beauty. They also repaired a number of holes and large chunks which had been taken out, but are now barely visible. They were responsive, friendly, and the quote was very reasonable. Highly recommend and we would go direct to them for any future works. (before & after photos)

This is probably third of fourth time we've used GJP Flooring to sand our floors and they've always been excellent. They always turn up when they say, the job takes as long as they estimate and the price is fair. Best of all, the finish is spot on and the guys always work neatly and cleanly. Great work Glyn, thanks again.

Exceptional customer service from Glyn in store. He was very informative and made the process really easy. Once we picked our flooring product, installation was organised in good time. Spencer, our fitter came to visit our property to assess the floor and was extremely knowledgable and helpful. Product is really good quality, reasonably priced and has been well laid in very good time. Highly recommend. Thank you Glyn and Spencer.

This is the second time we have used GJP flooring. Marcus and Joe replaced a few floorboards one around the radiator pipe which they cut/positioned perfectly. Then we had the floors sanded and lacquered and look amazing! Only issue is the filler is coming out already though I know not guaranteed seems a little too! Here are some before and after photos

Great experience and professional friendly team. Came to give me a quote very quickly and then when it was time to do the job they arrived when they said they would and took time and care with my floor. Really pleased with the result. Communication was great throughout and the quote they gave me was exactly what I paid. I will use them again. Thanks Glyn and team.
