Floarboard gap filling and varnishing/painting


Ellie78

Recommended Posts

Looking for someone to do a good job of filling the gap between pine floors that have already been sanded.


Apparently strips of mdf/pine better for this (and you can buy these purpose made?)!?


Then either looking for painting or whitening (osmo/blanchon)


Floor approx 40m2 (4 rooms, corridor)


Could do the work in stages, potentially, but we need to move back into at least 1 of those rooms ASAP.


Please get in touch!

I used those on my floor throughout my flat. Most, 95%, are still in place 7 years later and it's much warmer while still letting some air through. You may need to replace a few here and there in heavy footfall areas but it's easy. I really recommend them as most other fillers just fall through the gaps.

And should have added, I'm desperate to find someone who can start this week.


We would potnwntially be happy to do the work in stages so as long as 2 of the rooms were done this week we could negotiate one when the rest was done if that makes sense?

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
