This job in Hackney, amongst other things had a staircase
in serious need of some TLC. A floorboard had been replaced, but
another one next to it needed repair too.

Here's the finished result. Floorboards replaced and floor repaired, sanded and revarnished.
The history of Hackney means that there are plenty of fabulous wooden floors, often remaining under carpets, which could be restored to their former glory. There are many older buildings in the area and larger upper class houses which may have much more specialised wooden floors too.
Why are there so many wooden floors in Hackney houses? The borough of Hackney was developed from the late Georgian period onwards. Gradual expansion of housing stock and of London meaning that today, many of the houses in Hackney still have fantastic wooden floors that need resanding from time to time. Sutton House, on Homerton High Street, is the oldest surviving dwelling in Hackney, being built in 1535.Wood floors can remain serviceable for hundreds of years if properly looked after. However, leaving defects and imperfections over a long period, can result in the deterioration of surface. Although old surfaces often appear beyond repair, it is quite surprising that most wooden flooring can be restored to an excellent condition. Layers of old varnish, years of neglect, marks from carpets and building work are common reasons for loss of good condition in older floors, such as those in some of Hackney's older houses. Even under these conditions, the right treatment and re-varnishing can bring a surface back to its beautiful natural look.
