hi im Mike from Glossop,England.

Got a problem with some solid oak flooring thats lifted due to damp.
Is there any way to refix after floor has dried.Would appreciate any
input.Floor has buckled in the middle of the room didnt want to take
it all up.Its been put down over pine floor boards and has a large 4ft
high floor space below.
Owner has been using steamcleaner on it?

Mike, Do you mean the grain has lifted? If so then a serious sanding job is in order...Maybe. As with all floor sanding job give NO guarantee. If whole boards are lifted then a replacement is your answer. To the degree of replacement, I'm sure a competant contractor can determine.

Generally speaking, the floor should lay back down in time. Most flooring guys would want to wait at least 3 months before sanding it.

It will be fine depending on the amount of moisture in was subjected to. I just repaired and refinished a hallway where a 5 gallon jug of water leaked and sat for half a day. The boards seperated a little and buckled as you had said about your floor. I just replaced the damaged boards with the same species of wood and refinished the whole floor. It worked great and the customer was really happy, Im not a refinish guy so I can't tell you exactly what grit paper or disc youll need. Its really not that big a deal, maybe 4 hours sanding and 2 hours over two days with your poly.
Hey since we are on the subject on refinishing, what are the going rates for a general refinish job per square foot? I charge 2.25 per sq but theres alot of hacks here that are charging 1.50??!!
