Floor sanding & restoring

Recommended Posts

After a four year wait, and two properties, we finally got the opportunity to get Steve from Back to Wood Floors to restore and treat our floors back to original boards.


Steve and Nicola did our stairs, landing, hallway and new dining room and the result really is absolutely stunning.


We found them on the forum several years ago and they come, without exception, very well recommended. They we always available and responsive to questions before they began, came on time, well prepared and eager to create magic in another property. It was truly a pleasure to have them working for us for a week and we absolutely would not hesitate to be calling them again for any future work (which we don't there is now we've seen the result!). We could not get over how clean and tidy the house was at the end of each day, you hear nightmares about floor sanding, we literally could not tell that such messy work had been done come 6pm each day, excepting the amazing floors of course, incredible.


Thank you EDF for helping us find them and thank you Steve & Nicola for transforming our home.

I've just had Steve and Nicola back to do the bedroom of our new home (they did our hall, lounge and dining room of our old house several years ago). They're pretty busy so I had to wait a while for availability (which was hard, since I'm a "want it all, want it now, kind of a gal"), but boy was it worth it!


As the previous post says, they're great to have around - their work is excellent and they're extremely tidy and considerate. They kept us constantly updated on progress, turned up on time and when they said they would and left absolutely no mess (we've just had a bad experience with an electrician we found on Checkatrade, so these qualities are currently uppermost in our minds).

Steve and Nicola have just re-sanded, filled and varnished our sitting room and hall floor. They have done a fabulous job and it looks great! They are also as powercow says, very clean, (no mess whatsoever) tidy and considerate. From the initial pricing-up to the end they were extremely reliable and punctual and were able to switch the schedule to fit perfectly with family life.


Very happy with everything about them and the job - definitely recommend them!

I read the reviews here for Steve and Nicola (BacktoWood) and hired them to sand our living room, hall and 1 landing, summer 2016. They were great from the off. They turn up on time, are friendly yet professional, clean up at the end of every day and did a great job. I am hiring them back to come and sand our upstairs. Highly recommended.

    • Unless we don't fly I don't think we can be too critical of the authorities.  
    • In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.
    • Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost. 
    • I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
