Our engineered wood floor restoration process:
- Step 1 – We begin the restoration process with a free survey of the workspace. We will estimate the cost and inform you of the best approach for your floor. We will then arrange the best time to carry out the work. You will find our team highly punctual, all work will be completed to the best standard and minimal disruption will be caused whilst work is ongoing.
- Step 2 – We will sand to remove any previously applied lacquer or oils and bring back the clean boards. Our industrial belt and planetary sanding machines will smooth the boards for a perfectly flat finish. Sometimes belt sanders are not suitable for modern engineered boards, in which case we use a specialist three head machine.
- Step 3 – Our dustless edging machines strip the old sealers right up to the skirting boards. To be certain that no fine scratches remain after sanding we use our three head finishing machines, which prepares the wood for the sealer.
- Step 4 – We offer a range of different finishes and stain options for engineered wood floors. Samples can be demonstrated in situ so you can get a good idea. Natural lacquer is the most neutral choice or if you want to change the look of the floor completely we can use a stain.
- Step 5 – A base coat is applied to the wood to create the first stage of protection.
- Step 6 – When the base coat is dry we sand one final time to remove any areas that push up from the base coat.
- Step 7 – Finally we apply two coats of finish, which is usually a 1 or 2 pack lacquer depending on the wood. Oils are also applied in the case of a colour change or if a premium level of smoothness is requested.
- Step 8 – When the floor is dry, our work is finished. The floor is now ready for handover to the customer. For the next few hours there should only be very light foot traffic with socks and slippers to avoid damaging the finish.
We’re always able to provide our customers with full maintenance advice to take care of their newly sanded floors. After-care products are also available for purchase when requested.

FAQs
Yes, no problem. The sanding process will be selected so that we cut deep enough to remove the scratches and damage that is present. Also if Some holes and grooves are too deep to sand we can advise on a filing method that will improve the appearance of these areas.
We are happy to give a ballpark figure from pictures and room sizes, as this can help customer budgeting on renovation projects if they are unsure whether to restore or replace, but ultimately we would need to carry out a full survey and demo before any work can take place.
Yes, we are happy to carry out a free demo on your engineered wooden floor. The best way for us to do this is to bring one of the smaller dustless edging machines and sand 1 board x 1m of linear length. This will show the natural colour the wood returns to and we can then discuss which product is best to return the wood to the colour or look of your preference. The demo is also great as it can allow us to work out how many sanding grits and processes are required, which also helps with firming up a fixed cost for the project.
The length of time required for the floor to dry depends on the type of product that is used. We will advise you once work is complete.
Depending on the level of damage and thickness of old surface finishes, most household projects under 50 sqm take 1.5 days. On the first day we can sand the areas and get the base coat on. This is left to dry and then we return the following morning to start applying the 2 top coats. Again, smaller rooms with furniture take longer, whereas bigger open spaces which are completely clear can be completed in a timely fashion.
Every job is different but during the free survey we measure up, do a free demonstration clean to show the results we can achieve, and from this we send over a full proposal for you to browse at your own leisure. We do not give prices on the day or put you under any pressure for an answer there and then
Depending on the type of wood and condition, excellent results can be achieved with our restoration services as we are bringing back a fresh new layer of the wood. However, an old Victorian pine floor will always look aged and have patina but this is often seen as a positive with the character of a period property.
