Dust-Free Sanding & Finishing Our dust-free sanding is carried out using sanding machines with built-in extraction systems, as well as hand held machines that are connected to M-Class dust extraction units. To further enhance air quality, we use an M-Class air purifier, minimizing airborne dust for a cleaner environment. We specialize in low VOC finishes, as they are increasingly popular due to their eco-friendly properties, minimal odour, and healthier indoor air quality. If you’re unsure about the colour or sheen of your new finish, we can create samples directly on your existing floor before the actual job, allowing you to test and decide with confidence, ensuring you have enough time to make the right choice. Installation – Solid, Engineered & Parquet Flooring We install solid and engineered wood flooring, including wide planks and parquet flooring in herringbone or chevron patterns. While we don’t manufacture our own flooring, we collaborate with well-known flooring manufacturers and are happy to recommend high-quality options. Repairs & Subfloor Preparation We are experienced in working with Victorian and Georgian homes, restoring original wood floors to their former beauty. We can supply and fit reclaimed floorboards to match period properties, ensuring a seamless restoration. Additionally, we repair wood floors, replace occasional boards or veneers, and prepare subfloors to reduce movement and ensure stability before new flooring is installed. Acoustic & Thermal Insulation If you’re experiencing noise issues with neighbors, we can install acoustic insulation to reduce decibel levels before laying your new floor. We also offer natural lambswool insulation for improved thermal efficiency.

WIRE BRUSHED FLOORING What is Wire Brushed Wood Flooring? Wire brushing offers a delicate texture to the floor while maintaining its smooth and attractive appearance. Wire brushing process involves pulling out soft grains from the wood surface while leaving the hard grains smoother, giving the floor a textured finish. This helps construct a more durable floor that is able to protect its self against everyday wear and tear. These days, many flooring companies are offering a wide variety of textured wooden floors pre-made , which you need to install only. When it comes to sand and finish new or old - existing wood floor , many companies found difficult from technical point of view to wire brush or texture wood floor on site. But recently there have been made big improvements for wood texturing on site, there are different grades of brushes available to attach on sanding machines. PROS OF TEXTURED HARDWOOD FLOORING The distressed and rustic look of textured boards can make your home feel more traditional. Some people don’t like the plastic, shiny feel of some of these lacquered floors and may opt for boards brushed with oil to avoid this look. You can have the best of both worlds by choosing boards that are lightly sanded and treated with a matte finish. They will still look authentic, minus the textured finish. These floors are great at hiding scratches and damage that can occur with hardwood floors because they will blend in with a finish that is already rough. Textured floors can also have a tactile feel and grip to the surface. The surface of wire brushed wood floors becomes stronger when the softer wood is removed, exposing the hard wood. Once the softer wood is removed, wire brushed floors can withstand more wear and tear because they are harder. Homes with kids, pets and lots of foot traffic are ideal for wire-brushed flooring because new scratches will blend right in!  CONS OF TEXTURED HARDWOOD FLOORS Due to the exposed natural crevices and nooks, wire brushed hardwood floors are much harder to clean than other options. As a result, it is imperative that you clean the floors regularly so as to prevent the occurrence of sticky areas or chances of compressed dirt. When it is time to refinish the surfaces of wire-brushed floors, you have to do it with care. When not done properly, it can end up destroying the look of your floors. At AAFLOORS we are happy not only to help with the finishing of wire-brushed hardwood floors but also to help maintain the original texture and appearance of your floors.  How much does wire-brushed hardwood cost? If the hardwood flooring is pre-finished — meaning manufactured beforehand — the cost will be minimal. However, flooring that's finished on-site results in a little higher cost, since it requires significant manual labor. Wood that's hand-brushed on-site labour cost starts from £ 5.00 per square meter, but it also depends on depth of texture, layout and how big is the entire area. Enhancing Safety and Durability |
| 1. Bona Traffic HD Anti-Slip Slip Rating: R10 A top choice for both residential and commercial spaces, Bona Traffic HD Anti-Slip is a durable finish that provides R10 slip resistance. Perfect for kitchen floors, bathrooms, and high-traffic commercial areas, this finish is an ideal option after wood floor sanding and finishing. |
| 2. Loba Slip-Resist Additive Slip Rating: R10 to R11 Loba finishes, such as WS 2K Supra, can be combined with the Slip-Resist Additive to achieve a R10 to R11 rating. This provides superior slip resistance, ideal for wet or high-traffic environments, ensuring your new wood floor installation is safe and durable. |
| 3. Osmo Anti-Slip Polyx-Oil Slip Rating: R9 or R10 Osmo Anti-Slip Polyx-Oil is an oil-based finish that provides a natural wood look while enhancing traction. With a typical R9 or R10 slip resistance rating, it’s perfect for residential applications like kitchens, hallways, and living areas where moisture is occasional but still a concern. |
| 4. Aafloors Prime Seal Finish with Anti-Slip Additive Slip Rating: R11+ Designed specifically for staircases and bathrooms, Aafloors Prime Seal Finish can be combined with an anti-slip additive to achieve R11+ slip resistance. The surface becomes rougher and more textured, offering excellent grip but requiring extra care during cleaning. |
Before applying an anti-slip finish, wood floor sanding is key. By lightly texturing the surface, you can improve the adhesion of anti-slip finishes and provide a more secure grip, especially in staircases and high-traffic areas.
Where to Apply Anti-Slip Finishes
Anti-slip finishes are perfect for areas that experience frequent foot traffic or moisture. These include:
• Commercial spaces: Restaurants and retail stores where moisture exposure is common.
• Staircases: To prevent slips on wooden stairs.
• Kitchens and bathrooms: Wet areas where spills and water exposure are frequent.
Proper Maintenance for Long-Term Safety
To keep your anti-slip finishes effective, it’s crucial to maintain your floors properly:
• Use gentle cleaning solutions to avoid residue that can reduce traction.
• Follow the care guidelines provided by your finish manufacturer.
• Regular wood floor maintenance ensures your floors remain safe and looking their best.
Conclusion: Safe and Beautiful Wood Floors
Investing in high-quality anti-slip finishes after your wood floor installation or sanding can make a huge difference in both safety and durability. With products like Bona Traffic HD, Loba Slip-Resist Additive, Osmo Anti-Slip Polyx-Oil, and Aafloors Prime Seal, you can achieve various levels of slip resistance (R9, R10, R11+). Don’t forget that proper surface preparation and ongoing wood floor maintenance are crucial for maintaining both the beauty and safety of your floors.

Re: Floor restoration Arnis and his colleague did a fantastic job sanding my main room and kitchen oak hard wood floors. They looked at the job first and came up with a plan on how to do the work and a realistic timeframe, we also agreed a fair price. The work was completed exactly as planned and finished job is just as we would have hoped, I would highly recommend. ~ Colin |

Re: Floor restoration Recommend! Arnis is very experienced, professional and informative. When approaching our flooring issue, Arnis provided us with a number of options (including pros, cons and prices). Even though he has been in this line of work for many years, his quotes are reasonable and justified. We will be in touch again soon! Many thanks. ~ Terence |

Re: Floor repairs After a leak the floor in one area has very slightly lifted. It can be noticed when walking on it and has caused slight gaps between the boards which I am concerned will allow further water in. The area is in the kitchen. Arnis did a great job in repairing our kitchen floor. He was very professional, clean and prompt. Would recommend to others ~ Mathew B. |

Re: Floor repairs We've had a Christmas tree in winter with a wooden base, left it on the ground for about a month. After removing the tree we saw a black stain the size of the base on the wooden floor, haven't been able to remove it since. Since we are renting the place, we won't be allowed to just resand the whole apartment so we're ideally looking for someone that could just do the stain area for a reasonable price. Job was done perfectly, stain is gone and looks as it was never there in the first place. Totally recommended. ~ Guillaume |

The job was dust free to our delight and they were extremely clean and tidy as they completed the job ... thanks for all your hard work Arnis ... would definitely rehire you in the future. ~ Gill |

Dustless sanding of parquet sitting room & hallway Arnis is a true craftsman and genius who worked miracles with my old wood floor, leaving it looking stunning and feeling amazing underfoot. His high level of professionalism - all too rare these days - was consistent, always arriving on time, leaving the work site tidy at the end of each day and completing the job to perfection on time at a really great price. I'd been putting off getting my old parquet floor sanded, gaps filled and resurfaced because of the dust and disruption it caused last time, admittedly many years ago. However Arnis used the latest dust-free system that very few have and is incredibly hard to find, as I had been searching for ages. Still, I was amazed that there was no dust whatsoever from the floor sanding AT ALL. He took great care with my furniture when moving it out to begin work and replacing it afterwards. Arnis made the whole process easy and stress-free for me. The icing on the cake was that instead of the vague pale wood finish I had requested, Arnis presented me with some colour samples he had made just for my job in the same wood as my floor so I got to choose the precise shade, which he replicated exactly. Arnis has an impressive knowledge and genuine expertise when it comes to flooring. I'm so grateful to him for bringing my old floor back to life and will enjoy the beautiful finish he created for many years to come. He's also a very nice guy who is a pleasure to have working in your home. I cannot recommend Arnis highly enough. ~ Cindy |

Wooden floors Arnis and his team are exceptional. The work they did on our floors completely transformed our house. They are incredibly hard-working and professional, and went far beyond what they needed to do to make the experience as good as possible - giving us great advice, and even helping us disassemble and reassemble furniture to clear our rooms in preparation for the job. We are looking forward to them coming back again! ~ Mat & Golnar |
