Back to Wood floor restoration


Recommended Posts

A massive recommendation for Steve and Nichola who did a fantastic job restoring our floors. They previously were discoloured / covered in blotches of paint after years of neglect but they did an amazing job making them look brand new. Did a great job cleaning up after themselves as well and worked very quickly. Definitely worth the money we paid.


No link with them whatsoever, just a very happy customer (we got their details through searching on here).


Would say that they get booked up in advance (they only came last week and that was their first available week when we spoke to them in Feb) so get in touch with them if you're looking to get your floors done.

Adding to this recommendation for Steve and Nicola at back to wood. They are absolutely brilliant at their job, and are a pleasure to have in the house. They fitted us in at short notice to sand down our ancient, battered floor boards in our kids' bedrooms. They were really helpful with choosing finishes and the transformation is amazing. They are very considerate and left everything clean and tidy. They are coming back soon to sand the rest of the floors. Give them a call, you won't regret it!!

I would also like to recommend Back to Wood. They did an excellent job of sanding and sealing a large kitchen/breakfast room oak floor and a bedroom floor with original pine floor boards. They carried out the first while we were away on holiday and took due care of everything. I can endorse all that is written about them in the above posts.
Hi. We've used Steve and Nicola a couple of times before and they've been brilliant. Last week, we contacted them about a large old Georgian floor board in another part of the house that had split. Steve popped round today, whipped up the floor board, glued and braced it, then replaced it and checked and re-secured some of the creaking floorboards around it - and then refused to take any money from us. Once again, we think they're great.
Steve and Nicola restored our Victorian terrace hall floor in August and did a wonderful job. We are so pleased with it. I booked them back in April purely on the basis of the reviews here and Steve's quotation. The floor was very tired, unstained pine and they restored (filling the many gaps with resin then sanding) and stained it. It now looks really smart without being out of whack with the rest of the house (which is not particularly smart!). They were really great to work with and left the house looking as if nobody had been there. Would definitely recommend them and if anything else crops up in our house that is in their line of work we will be giving them a call. Thank you!

Another recommendation for Steve and Nicola. They have just restored two bedroom floors back to the original floorboards in our house, and now they look amazing. Very impressed with the result given the state of the floors beforehand. They were both very friendly and accommodating. We are really pleased with the final result and would highly recommend them to anyone thinking of having similar works done.

    • I went to the early meeting, it was just the usual attempt to placate local residents.  I guess the main points were that due to the new flood alleviation 'bunds' they can't use the usual entrance opp Harris Boys to bring in equipment etc, so they & the council are proposing using the gates opp Harris Girls and laying trackway all the way across to the site. I raised the point that that section of road is always busy with cars parked both sides, they said they'd look into restrictions. I also asked if they'd considered that there will be students taking GCSE exams at that time who could be disturbed by the activity, they said they hadn't (what a surprise...) and would talk to the school. I also pointed out that the majority of damage was caused by the trackway, so they are effectively knowingly causing more damage than last year. Note that there is more trackway all around the site than previously.  The increased site footprint is apparently replacing space lost to the 'bunds'. They said they used that space for storage, but curiously none of the extra space will be for storage, so it is actually increasing the size of the festival. I pointed out that the entrance area is on a Gaelic football pitch, they said the council said it wouldn't be in use at that time, I responded that it would, by families trying to have picnics & play sports with their kids because the rest of the park has been annexed. I also suggested that this was the start of the festival creeping further east, to which there was no comment.  The extra day is for a "community day", details of exactly what this would entail - music, workshops, food, theatre - who requested / wanted it, and how many attendees they expected, were very sketchy. I suggested it was just a fairly transparent attempt to curry favour with the local community and make a precedent for a longer festival, rather than a genuine & honest  desire to contribute something truly beneficial. There were no definitive plans to tackle the anti social behaviour, littering or environmental damage over & above the ineffective actions of previous years.  Official minicab drop off / pick up will be by the Clock House, but again no way of enforcing this. Gala are constantly citing the opportunities for local acts, traders & employees as benefits from the festival, however they admitted not having any figures to quantity this. I requested they therefore cease to use these as benefits without proof of validity. I once again raised the issue of the wildlife survey they commission being woefully inadequate, as it only surveys within the site, and seems only concerned with bird nests. There are other forms of wildlife - they were unaware of the Stag beetle population in the SW corner - and lots of birds nesting in the surrounding trees which will be disturbed. Again, no response, which confirms it is just a tick box exercise rather than a genuine attempt to guage the impact to flora & fauna. That's all for now, I'm sure others have more. Basically, same as always, but bigger & longer...
    • Glad you got sorted. Meantime, hoping for an update from someone on what happened at the GALA consultation meeting with local residents, a few days ago. Especially interested in thinking on their proposed event extension and footprint.
    • Coming from LL direction there is no problem getting into TJHC
    • Don't worry, the link came through just in time, and I'm in the queue for tickets now
