Floor Sanding recommendation- Back to wood


myless

Recommended Posts

A month or so ago we got our downstairs floors sanded by Steve and Nichola from Back to Wood. I thought I left a review at the time - but somehow I didn't. We are thrilled with the job. They were sanded by another company 6 years ago and needed re-doing - this time round the job was much more thorough and the results are better by far - I wish we'd used Back to Wood originally. Our neighbour was so impressed she booked them immediately, and has just had her upstairs done and is equally as pleased as we are.


My partner borders on OCD in terms of cleanliness, and he couldn't fault them on how tidy they kept things whilst they worked. They are 100% reliable, finished before they said they would and finally (but really important to us) they were fantastic with our 2 dogs, who could have become an issue during the process, but Steve & Nichola were brilliant with them.


Got them coming back in the summer to clean and wax all our doors. They're busy, but very much worth the wait!

steve and nikki from back to wood are brilliant - they have done the majority of the floors in our one-bed flat and are returning in a few months to tackle the stairs. they are both charming and their work is excellent. nikki's attention to detail is perfect and they are really conscious of their surroundings, always tidying up after themselves. they advised us on different colours and styles and were really patient when i asked them to come back and replace a tiny bit of wood that was bothering me! thank you steve and nikki; i wouldn't trust anyone else with our floors!

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
