• Is it possible/feasible/worth it to save this floor? (It was this state when we moved in). Cost effectiveness is weighed against a new wooden floor - but it's original to the house so would be keen to keep if could.

  • Yes. See the pics of our floor further up the thread. Can recommend Lee at dreamwood flooring in Beckenham as he did the final filling and sanding and is very knowledgeable in how to deal with floors that have a bit of wear and age

    EDIT: was just the single coat of oil in previous pic, here is second coat with the full sun on the floor, ours looked not dissimilar to yours if very pale and yellower due to the thick lacquer and years of UV light.

    Fwiw c. 45m² cost us >£10k....which buys a lot of Osmo and sandpaper.

    So don't underestimate how much a new floor costs.

    Not to mention potential difficulty in sourcing materials. Which may well be inferior to what you have now.

  • If you are NE london, I have a Reccomendation for a flooring company. Did ours, dbr’s and at least one neighbour. Originally recommended by @Fox I believe.
