​ UXBRIDGE IN OLD MIDDLESEX

The town was an important market town for West Middlesex by the 18th century, boosted by the opening of the Grand Junction (later the Grand Union) canal in 1794.

​A variety of timber-framed, pre-Georgian and Georgian properties survive, such as the Red House and the Market House. The Crown and Treaty pub derives its name from abortive discussions with King Charles 1 during the civil war. Some wooden panelling was sent to the US in the 1920s and later returned as a gift to the Queen on her coronation. This has been returned to the pub, though remains in royal possession.

​The church retains a series of impressive original wooden roofs, including one with hammerbeam construction.

I needed nosing to match a finish for a hardwood floor we had installed. Harry took the time to find several matches, then checked pricing and delivery times with 3 manufactures. These people know how to treat customers!

How to even out stain when finishing wood floors

Staining your floor may seem like an easy job compared to the preparation and hard work involved in sanding floorboards, but the opposite is often the case. You can be as meticulous as possible while prepping and sanding and still end up with a stained floor that looks blotchy and uneven. That’s because wood is an unpredictable medium and different woods, and even different floorboards, can absorb stain at different rates. The good news is you can often fix uneven stain if you follow a few simple steps.

Sand out any unevenness

With an orbital or another handheld sander with 100 grit sandpaper, sand the entire floor lightly using the following technique – sand forward six inches and then back five inches, working parallel with the grain of the wood and moving as consistently as possible.

Pop the grain

Before you reapply your stain, wipe the floor all over with a wet cloth – you’re aiming to wet the floor without leaving puddles. This process, known as water popping, opens the pores of the wood so it literally drinks in the stain. This often means that you only need to apply one coat before sealing. Wait until every drop of water has evaporated before applying your stain.

Apply your stain

Now you need to move quickly. Use a sponge to completely wet the floor with your chosen stain before wiping off immediately with a soft and dry cloth – old cotton T-shirts are ideal. Now let the stain dry for 30 minutes.

Use mineral spirits

If there are still uneven areas, you need to blend the dark and the light stain together by using mineral spirits or acetone. Keep rubbing until the darker areas match the rest of the floor. If necessary, reapply the stain to ensure everything is evened out. The end result should be a beautiful, rich floor ready to be sealed with your choice of polyurethane or wax.

Hints and tips

  • Match the stain as closely as possible or go darker to disguise any issues with patchiness.
  • Always wear a mask and work in a well-ventilated space when working with acetone or mineral spirits.
  • Make sure you dispose of stain covered rags safely as they can ignite.
  • Instead of water popping, use a sealer to even out the wood grain for successful staining.
  • If in doubt, have your floors stained professionally.
