Floor Restoration Services

Repair Floor Before Sanding

Proper preparation is essential before any sanding begins. We carefully inspect the floor and carry out all necessary repairs to ensure a stable, smooth and long-lasting result.

Our repair process may include:

• Securing loose boards – eliminating movement and reducing squeaks

• Replacing damaged planks – matching the existing floor where possible

• Fixing nail pops or exposed fixings

• Strengthening weak subfloor sections (if required)

By addressing these issues before sanding, we ensure a stronger foundation, a better finish and a longer-lasting floor.

Professional Floor Sanding Process

Our sanding process is carried out using professional, dust-controlled equipment to restore your floor safely and efficiently. Each stage is carefully completed to achieve a smooth, even and long-lasting finish.

Our sanding process includes:

• Initial coarse sanding – removes old finishes, stains and surface damage
• Intermediate sanding – smooths the surface and levels imperfections
• Fine sanding – prepares the floor for finishing products
• Edge sanding – detailed sanding around walls and corners

We use professional-grade machinery to minimise airborne dust and protect your property throughout the process.

Gap Filling

Over time, small gaps can appear between floorboards due to natural movement and wear. Where appropriate, we professionally fill these gaps to improve both the appearance and overall performance of the floor.

Gap filling helps to:

• Improve the visual finish and reduce visible lines

• Prevent dirt and dust from collecting between boards

• Create a smoother, more even surface before sealing

For most solid wood floors, we use a mixture of fine wood dust collected during the sanding process, blended with a professional-grade resin. This creates a natural colour match and a durable, seamless finish.

Polishing

Polishing is the final preparation stage before the protective finish is applied. Using a professional orbital machine, we refine the entire surface to remove fine marks, blend filled areas and achieve a perfectly smooth result.

This step ensures the floor is evenly prepared, allowing varnish or oil to bond properly and deliver a clean, consistent and long-lasting finish.

Finishing & Protection

The final stage of the process is applying a professional finishing system designed to protect and enhance your floor. We begin with a protective primer, which improves adhesion and seals the wood surface. This is followed by two or more coats of clear varnish to build durability and ensure long-term protection against daily wear, moisture and stains.

We offer different sheen levels to suit your interior style and personal preference:

• Ultra Matt – A natural, almost invisible look that keeps the wood appearance as raw and authentic as possible. Ideal for modern and minimalist interiors.
• Matt – A soft, low-sheen finish that reduces light reflection while maintaining warmth and character. A popular choice for family homes.
• Satin – A subtle sheen that adds depth and highlights the grain, while still maintaining a balanced, elegant look.
• Gloss – A higher shine finish that reflects more light and creates a bold, polished appearance.

All finishes are applied carefully to ensure even coverage, strength and a smooth, long-lasting result.
