FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What filler do you use for gaps?

We use resin and wood dust blends, water-based fillers, or flexible fillers depending on gap size and floor type.

Is gap filling suitable for old floorboards?

Yes. Gap filling is especially effective for Victorian and Edwardian floorboards, commonly found in UK homes.

How long does gap filling take?

Gap filling is typically completed within the same timeframe as floor sanding, usually 1-2 days depending on floor condition.

Will the gaps return over time?

Seasonal movement can re-open gaps. We advise the best approach for your floor.

Is gap filling done before finishing?

Yes. We fill after sanding and before final coats for a consistent finish.
