EALING DOWN THE CENTURIES
Panshanger Manor was redeveloped in 1801 by one of Britain’s greatest but least heralded architects. Sir John Soane’s design for the Bank of England was sabotaged - but visitors can enjoy his good taste by sampling the many treasures in the eponymous museum in Lincoln’s Inn Fields.
Several of the old Middlesex villages in the borough retain their medieval churches. Greenford has old timbers and a wooden staircase in the tower; while Northolt dates from 1300 and has a wooden gallery of around 1703.
Even more delightful is Perivale - with its small but attractive white weatherboarded tower of the early 16th century. |

Get the Scandi look with bleached floorboards
More sophisticated than painted floorboards, bleached wood floors are modern yet timelessly stylish. It's an effect that can really enhance and open up your interiors for that natural Scandi vibe. This sophisticated effect is not difficult to achieve but is time consuming and you may prefer to leave the task to floor sanding specialists who have experience in bleaching or soaping floorboards. However, if you're on a budget or love your DIY, this is a project that can completely transform your interiors.
First, prepare your floor
Before you can get down to the process of bleaching or sanding, you'll need to hire some dust free floor sanding equipment so you can strip the floorboards back to the bare wood. This is the essential first step in the process and you must ensure that every scrap of the old finish is removed from the floor in order that the bleaching process is effective.
Bleach your boards
First, you must do a patch test in an inconspicuous area - don't be tempted to skip this step as you need to know exactly how your wood flooring reacts with the bleach. You can use ordinary household bleach or opt for something more heavy duty like oxalic acid, but you must make sure that you use a mask, gloves and goggles and ventilate the room well.
Next, apply a small amount of bleach to the floor and see whether it achieves the effect you want. If not, apply another thin coat. You're likely to find that you'll need to bleach each board two or three times to achieve the desired effect.
Soap or lime
There are a couple of alternatives to bleaching, which are particularly effective if you have pine floorboards.
• Lye soap: this product is ideal if you have yellow pine floorboards that don't react well to bleach. Lye soap will bleach pine and remove the orangey tone.
• Lime-water solution: alternatively, you can rub a lime solution into the boards and then wipe the excess off. This produces a more distinct effect than bleaching and is particularly good if you want to highlight the grain in your floorboards.
Protect your floor
After you've invested all that time and effort into creating a sophisticated bleached or soaped floor, it's imperative that you protect it. Whether you choose oil or water based polyurethane, opt for a matte finish to avoid your floor looking like plastic.
