We'd definitely echo all the recommendations for Steve and Nicola. They started when they said they would, finished on time, kept calm and reassured us when we had a brief panic about the finish we'd chosen, and left us with a beautifully finished job. We're very pleased with the result.

Morning,


Considering getting the floorboards done in a number of rooms in our house but wanted to get a sense of the cost for this with any of the companies recommended here so I can go into the process with my eyes open.


Can anyone shed some light / give a ballpark estimate?


Thanks

Back to wood sounded great, but unfortunately not taking any work for 4+months. Instead I used http://www.floorsandingandrestoration.com (via a recommendation on this forum).

They couldn't have been better. Visited at a time convenient to me, quote within 24 hours and started 2 weeks later. Did a great job: floor boards have been transformed, they left the place nice and tidy, and were more than happy to a four weeks later to touch up an area round the hearth. Great service.

I did the opposite to sjn9; after reading the reviews on here and getting three estimates,I paid a small (10%) deposit and booked ahead with 'Back To Wood'. It was SO worth the wait!


I live in what I guess is a fairly typical South London, Victorian conversion flat. Steve and Nikki's task was to refurbish one (kitchen) floor first sanded many years ago and, in three other rooms, to rescue original wooden floors dating back to the 1870's and badly-abused by the cowboy 'builders' who did the conversion in the 1970's. Up came hardboard sheeting, underlay (much of it now crumbled almost to dust) and ancient carpet to reveal part-painted boards that, to me, looked completely irretrievable. Two weeks later, after painstaking repairs and careful re-sanding and staining, those same boards are the best feature in what (though I say it myself) is a really nice space. Forget the high ceilings and fancy cornices; the floors are what take the eye and the flat is transformed. This was an expert job done by people who really understand, care about and enjoy what they do. (And though the job was more demanding than expected, Steve and Nikki still managed to complete it on time and for the agreed price.)


I think I'm right in saying that their waiting-list is now a good deal shorter than the four months I waited - but believe me, Back to Wood are well worth waiting for. If you want an estimate, Steve's mobile number is 07949-411650

Steve and Nichola from Back to Wood have just left our house after spending the week sanding and finishing four of our rooms, and I wanted to leave a delighted review and recommendation! Back to Wood are professional and they take pride in their work. When they arrived our floors were a right state (original 1895 victorian house - never been done). Back to Wood took up the old carpet and grippers and did necessary repairs carefully and thoughtfully (for example sourcing matching old floorboards to replace ones that wouldn't match when done). The finished floors look absolutely awesome, we couldn't be happier. Also, we work from home, and they kept disruption to a minimum by sealing themselves and any dust in the room they were focusing on and letting us know when the noisiest parts would be so we could work around it. It actually was significantly less disruptive than I feared. The cost was really reasonable. All in all really lovely people who have done a really great job. Attached before and after photos of one of the rooms so you can see. Contact email [email protected] and mobile 07949 411650.

I would like to add another glowing review for Steve and Nichola from Back to Wood floors.


They were so kind and professional throughout the whole process, being super helpful with stain options for our floors and even helped us move some furniture from one room to another in the process. We were super thankful for it. The transformation for the floor is second to none. Looks like new! Steve and Nichola have given a new lease of life to some old and knackered floors and we are incredibly thankful for it.


If you need to contact them please do so on [email protected] and mobile 07949 411650.

A strong recommendation for Back to Wood for anyone needing wooden floors sanded. Steve responded promptly to our request for a quote, gave a fair price, and most importantly the results look fantastic. I thought we would need to replace our battered lounge and kitchen floor, some of which was badly damaged, but it now looks like new. Also left everything very clean considering how inherently messy the task is. Highly recommended. Their website is https://www.back-to-wood.com

Steve and Nicola of Back to Wood have just done some work on our floors in our new house, after we used them a few years ago at our old place. Another excellent job done by them on original floorboards, superb finish and attention to detail in every aspect. They also left the house very clean. Would highly recommend them. Steve’s number is 07949 411650.

We've just had Steve and Nicola back to do another room in our house. They are two of the nicest, cleanest and most professional people we have had work on our house. They arrived early, unpacked prepped and got to work straight away. Bringing back our 140 year old floorboards with great care and skill.

The finish is amazing and we will of course be getting them back again when the next room is ready!

Wowzer, you should see how beautiful our floors are after Steve and Nicola got to work. 
We had old burn marks, loose boards and mismatched grains, they nailed the brief and gave them a whole new life. 

More than happy to recommend Back to Wood, 07949 411650.
Friendly, reliable, skilled.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
