The Ham Floor Sanding Experts!

          Elizabeth, Lady Dysart, became mistress of Ham House when her father died with no male heirs.  He had been the ‘whipping boy’ of the Prince of Wales, later Charles the First, taking the punishment for his misdemeanours.  Perhaps it was worth the pain - for this youthful friendship brought a peerage and the lease of the manors of Ham and Petersham.
          His pretty and charming daughter married her second husband, the Duke of Lauderdale in 1672, a mere six weeks after he became a widower.
          The Duke was one of the King’s ministers and the couple ‘lived at a vast rate’.  The house soon proved too small for their ambitions.   Enlarged by 1675 and furnished with extravagance, what we see today is largely Elizabeth’s creation.... 

Restored wood flooring can turn unlikely spaces into homes

In our modern world, space is at a premium and we are lucky when we can find a place to call our own. Houses sometimes seem in short supply, but with a little ingenuity, and floor repair services, restored wood flooring can turn almost any space into a characterful and beautiful home. This opens up a whole new realm of possibilities for would-be home owners. 

Converting former commercial or industrial properties 

If you have been looking at properties, you may have considered trying to find a formerly agricultural, industrial or commercial space, but been put off by the amount of restoration work required. But with a little imagination and a little hard graft, many do decide to take on restoration projects. If you are one of those converting an old building, one of the things you should turn your attention to are the old floors. By fully restoring wood floors, rather than replacing them, not only can you reduce the cost of your restoration project, but the environmental impact of your conversion is reduced too - good news for everyone. 

When you are converting a former factory, shop or farm building into a domestic dwelling, one of the most important things is to keep the character of the original building in tact. After all, buyers often fall in love with certain elements of the place - the fabric of the building is among those things. The last thing you want to do is throw all that away and end up with a boring old box.

Don't throw away that old wooden flooring! 

A restored wooden floor is one of the elements that can help to retain charm and character in a renovation project. Good quality work on the old, battered flooring of an old barn or factory, for example, will respect the heritage of the building and its quirks while creating a flooring fit for modern living. Some sections may need to be discarded but the best conversion projects retain as much as they can, restoring wooden floors to not just match but surpass their former appeal. 

When conversions are done well, with restored wood flooring and other sustainable design features, even the most unlikely spaces can become truly stunning homes.
