Gap Filling: Resin & Slivers
The Floor Sanding Co
The Floor Sanding Co, with 20 years experience in all aspects of real wood flooring, are based in central London and are proud to deliver top class restoration, renovation and wood floor maintenance to home and business owners across the region.
No matter what type of hard or softwood flooring you have, we can offer the right gap filling solution for your floor. For example, if the gaps are small, around 6mm (1/5th of an inch) or less then these can be filled with a mix of resin paste and wood dust. This is not only the cheapest form of gap filling, but is also the most effective for small gaps. The mixture is quick drying and has no noxious odour.
Gap Filling With Resin & Sawdust Mix
An important aspect of the restoration of real wood floors is gap filling. Time, traffic, central heating, air conditioning and the naturally ‘breathable’ nature of real wood means that all types of wooden flooring will experience a certain amount of expansion and contraction that results in spaces between the boards. Even if your flooring does not require complete restoration, you may wish to seal the gaps in order to eliminate draughts as well as for aesthetic purposes.
Simple method, professionally carried out
To achieve the perfect blend necessary to professional gap filling we will use a little wood dust from your own floor, which we then mix with colourless resin. The mixture is then carefully applied to the gaps. When dried and hardened the resin mix will have bonded the boards together, leaving a gap-free perfect floor.
Perfection, always perfection
Because the Floor Sanding Co are perfectionists (as well as experts!), we ensure that every filled gap has blended perfectly with the flooring. If sanding or a little edging is required, it will be carried out at this stage. With work as exacting as gap filling, our specialist craftsmen will use only small hand sanders and edging tools to achieve the perfect finish for your floor.
When you choose the Floor Sanding Co you are selecting the premier floor sanding company in south-east England and we can truthfully say we have achieved this status due to the high standard of our workmanship. Our customers know that whatever work we are called in to do, we complete professionally, cleanly and with the minimum of upheaval.

Gap Filling With Reclaimed Pine Slivers
Filling gaps in wood flooring not only makes the floor look better but reduces draughts, squeaking and creaking as well as stopping odours, dust, pet hairs and dirt from gathering inside the spaces that can give a floor a ‘dusty’ appearance, even when just cleaned. Gap filling also prevents movement in the boards and keeps the floor tight and draught-free.
The Floor Sanding Co uses the tried and tested techniques of filling in gaps which is dependent not only on the gap width but also the type of wood and the amount of traffic.
Because both softwood and hardwood floors will swell and shrink slightly due to atmospheric pressure, central heating and weather it is not unusual for gaps and spaces to appear almost overnight. Although there is nothing you can do to specifically stop gaps from appearing through time you can have them professionally filled so as not to damage the intrinsic beauty of your floor.
Attention to detail makes the difference
It is always preferable to have only wood floor specialists to work on your floor and The Floor Sanding Co, with years of experience in all aspects of the wood floor business, are well qualified to gap fill any type of wood flooring to make it good as new.
We choose to use eco-friendly pine slivers that have come via the reclaimed wood process to fill the gaps. Pine is a softwood and is ideal for gap filling, whatever type of floor you have. The pine slivers are put into place, gently hand sanded and affixed with either plain varnish or with a sealant so you know they will stay in place.
Eco-friendly all the way
Because we only use filling slivers from reclaimed timber you can be sure no trees have died to fix your floor. Real wood, properly cared for, should easily last the lifetime of the house.
At the Floor Sanding Co we are proud of what we do and every job, big or small, is treated with the same level of care and respect. Once the gap filling is completed you will find no visible evidence of gap filling around the gaps at all.
Small job – big improvement
Sometimes it is the smallest jobs that lead to the biggest improvement, and gap filling is a case in point. As well as making the floor look and feel better to walk on, it will be less draughty and much easier to clean.
