Our parquet floor restoration process:
- Step 1 – The process begins with a site survey to estimate the cost. We arrange a date and time for the work to be completed.
- Step 2 – On the day our team will arrive punctually and ready to begin. We will start by sanding down the boards and restoring the fresh and untreated boards. During this process, any previous treatments will be fully stripped. Our custom made industrial belt and planetary sanding machines leave the wood smooth and flat with a pristine finish. We can also use our state-of-the-art 3 head machine for newly engineered boards where sanding isn’t suitable.
- Step 3 – We use dustless edging machines to ensure that old sealers are stripped up to the skirting boards. We then polish the floor with our 3 head finishing machine to eliminate any micro-abrasions that can happen during the sanding process. After this, the floor will be totally smooth and prepared for the sealer.
- Step 4 – We demonstrate the available stain options on the floor to show exactly how the finish could look. A natural lacquer will preserve the original look of the floor or we can use a stain to change the colour.
- Step 5 – The base coat is applied for the initial layer of protection.
- Step 6 – When the floor is dry we carry out a light sand of the floor. This fixes any areas that push up from the base coat. The preparation of the floor is now complete and it is ready for the final finishing coats.
- Step 7 – We apply two layers of top finish, which can be a 1 or 2 pack lacquer depending on the specifics of the parquet. If an increased level of smoothness is needed or if there has been a colour change, we will apply oils.
- Step 8 – After a few hours the furniture can be returned and you can walk on the floor gently with socks and slippers.
Once complete, we offer full maintenance advice and can provide aftercare products if 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 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.
The length of process varies depending on the level of damage and thickness of the old surface, but normally most household projects under 50 sqm take about 1.5 days. On the first day we can do the sanding and apply the base coat. This is then left to dry and we’ll return the following morning to start applying the 2 top coats. Again, smaller rooms with furniture take longer, whereas bigger open spaces with no furniture can be completed more quickly.
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
It depends on the original condition of your parquet floor, but we can normally restore it to a just-laid finish.
All products used are within the manufacturer’s guidelines, and where applicable your flooring manufacture own brand products can be used.
