Hi I've got an engineered wood oak floor, brushed and oiled finish. There are various marks where coffee / red wine / god knows what has been spilled on it and not cleaned up quickly enough. If I rub and rub at these marks they pretty much come off but it leaves a patch that is lighter than the...

We are renovating our guest room. I completed sanding the floors last night and I’m ready to treat the wood. I’m planning on using a Woca Lye to remove the colour and then a extra white oil to give a pale finish with some grain still showing through. I tapped the nails below the surface...

Hi guys, I’m planning on sanding and re-oiling/lacquering my living room floor. It's not in a bad condition but looks like it could do with a good touch up after moving in and plastering etc. I was just looking for some advice on coating and sanding. My plan is to sand the top layer of which...

Hi, We recently had a wall removed between kitchen and lounge. The space left behind (previously occupied by the wall) was filled with a cement mixture to level it with the laminate in the kitchen (don't ask!). There is a 'step up' to the carpet (see photo). We're now struggling for ideas how...

Hi all, I ordered 4t of readymixed floor screed from a company yesterday in order to raise my garage floor by circa 75mm. The mix looked quite dry but the driver managed to make a ball and said it was ok. I laid the screed but I couldn't float it flat as it seemed too dry. I compacted and made...

Hi All Some advice would be appreciated. We are doing a full refurbish on our house at the moment, fitting underfloor heating throughout amongst a lot of other work. All the stud walls and rotten chipboard floors have been removed on the first floor in preparation for the new layout. The new...

Hi, I sanded our wooden floors to a nice smooth finish and have now put on a first coat of varnish. Disappointingly the floor now feels quite rough. Is this just normal, or did I put too much on, or could there have been a bit of dust about still? Presumably I need to sand this down, should I...

Hi, I'm renovating and old (~1870) house. Having pulled up the floor coverings and original (knackered) tiles downstairs, I've discovered that 2 rooms and a sort or corridor area have a solid concrete-like base, although all at different heights, while another room has a suspended timber floor...

I have some sanded victorian pine flooring which I need to apply a finish to. I was going to paint it white, but now I am not so sure. Ideally, I would like to live with it for a while, before possibly painting it white. Are there any natural floor finishes that I could apply to it in the...
