What was the hardwood flooring challenge?
Our team were challenged with the restoration of the original oak floor of the 400m2main hall and the 90m2 original pitch pine floor in the Mayor’s Parlour, in the Grade II listed Brixton Town Hall.
This was a hardwood flooring masterclass!
As part of the team implementing the successful rejuvenation and redevelopment of Brixton’s famous town hall (which features the iconic clock tower), Holt & Co Hardwood Flooring – from November 2016 to January 2017 – restored the oak floor in the main hall by using a Hummel belt sanding machine. This was used over the flooring some four or five times to strip off the old varnish. The floors were then buffed and varnished. Moreover, the parquet floors in the Mayor’s Parlour were uplifted and sent away to be cleaned. Meanwhile, Holt & Co Hardwood Flooring re-levelled the Mayor’s Parlour’s floors before the parquet flooring was returned, re-installed (with a two-block border incorporated) and refurbished. Hard work, but one of the most satisfying jobs we have ever completed. Go take a look for yourself, and visit Brixton Pop for a beer afterwards, we did!
