floor sanding

Hi to all EDF users,

Is anyone could reccomend good company for the floor sanding? We are a bit at loss as to where to find reliable one!

Here is our daunting experience...We've contacted ( via provided email) 'The Dust free floor sanding" company which adverts we saw in Living South resident magazine ( put through our door), and yet they didn't get back to us. On our followed up call to the company ( phone was provided in magazine also) it turned out just an operator, who has nothing to do with the company ?so eventually we managed to speak to someone who was related to The dust free floor sanding company, but only to tell us that their manager was on holidays and no one else could deal with our request for a "free quote". Though she took our rooms measurements as we were informed - company give free estimate over the phone only, so there wasn't any need for a visit. Aagh...Its been a month since?and still no reply hence any enthusiasm from The Dust free sanding to take new customers:)

Is such company really exist?


Many thanks in advance,

Alica

I tried to get hold of back to wood last year but they were booked up for months. In the end use Phil Jackson of PJ Pine and Sons after he was recommended to me by one of his customers. He came quite quickly and quoted and did the ground floors in less than two days staying til late at night to get it done. No job is ever completely dust free but they covered the radiators and light fittings. The floors look great. Reasonable rates.

I'd like to highly recommend Steve and Nicola from Back to wood flooring. They recently sanded and varnished our parquet flooring and it looks like new! They were lovely to deal with and didn't leave any mess. Also gave advice on after care. I'm planning to ask them to do our living room sometime in the near future.

Steve and Nicola from Back to Wood recently restored and stripped our wooden floor. They were brilliant - a delight to have around, did a fantastic and very careful job - ensuring the floor came out at exactly the right shade and level of 'old' that we wanted. The price was very reasonable, and they sorted out a couple of additonal flooring issues for us for free. They left the house very tidy. We'd wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone.


Steve is on: 07949 411650.

I feel your pain. I had a very poor experience with a company recommended well on here in particular (not Back to Wood, I hasten to add!). I had to chase several times to get someone to come out.


When he finally did, he got very defensive when I asked for a ballpark estimate of repair costs for damaged floorboards, even though I made it very clear I wanted it for budgeting purposes only (not to hold him to a figure) and that I understand it was completely dependent on what they found when they started the work.


I'd made it clear that I needed to arrange the booking quickly (particularly because I'd wasted a couple of weeks trying to even get the site visit) because of other commitments. I was pretty shocked to then get an email from him the next day claiming this wasn't the sort of work they were in the business of doing. This is despite me having explained the logistics of the job in detail to he and his colleagues before he'd turned up. His reasoning changed several times during the course of the conversation that followed, leaving me with the distinct impression it was a bunch of excuses to cover the fact he hadn't liked being asked not to leave one aspect of the works completely open-ended.

    • 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.

    • 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.
