The Wood Floor Sanding & Refinishing Process

1. On-Site Inspection & Moisture Testing

We assess your floor’s condition, wood type, thickness, previous finishes, repairs needed and suitability for sanding.
Moisture levels are checked to ensure the floor is ready for restoration.

2. Preparation & Protection

All surrounding areas are protected, including skirting, units, fireplaces, radiators, and fixed furniture.
Nails, tacks and protrusions are secured to ensure safe sanding.

3. Coarse Sanding – Removing Old Coatings

We start with a coarse sanding grade to remove:

Old varnish and lacquer
Oils and waxes
Surface damage
Unevenness and high spots

Specialised edging machines and corner hand tools ensure every area is reached.

4. Fine Sanding – Creating a Perfect, Smooth Surface

Floors are gradually refined through multiple sanding stages to produce an even, beautifully smooth surface free from sanding marks.

5. Repairs & Gap Filling (Optional)

Where required, we can:

Fill gaps between floorboards using wood dust resin
Replace damaged boards
Secure loose planks
Repair localised defects

These repairs greatly improve final appearance and stability.

6. Staining (If Desired)

You can choose from a wide range of natural wood tones and stains to match your décor or create a fresh new look, including:

Natural oak
Medium or dark oak
Scandinavian pale finishes
Grey tones
Warm country farmhouse shades
Deep contemporary colours

All stains are patch-tested to ensure you love the final colour.
