WoodMaster’s process for parquet floor varnishing:
- Step 1 – We start with a free site survey to establish a written estimate for the work. We then schedule a time and date for the service to be carried out.
- Step 2 – To begin the varnishing we will fully strip the boards to remove all previous lacquer and oils. This will restore the original virgin boards. Our large industrial belt and planetary sanding machines will ensure the floorboards are smooth and flat. We also have a brand new 3 head machine custom-made for newly engineered boards where belt sanders can’t be used.
- Step 3 – We strip the previous sealer all the way to the skirting boards using a dustless edging machine. We then treat the floor with our 3 head finishing machine to remove any micro-scratches created during our sanding process. This will leave the floor completely smooth and prepared for the first coat of sealer.
- Step 4 – We demonstrate what the parquet floor will look like using samples of finishes and stain options. A natural lacquer can also be applied for natural finish or. You can also choose from one of our many stains to get a different look.
- Step 5 – We then apply the first coat of protection to the parquet floor.
- Step 6 – When the first coat is dry we gently sand the floor one final time to smooth all areas. Now the floor is ready for the finish.
- Step 7 – We apply two coats of our top finish, either a 1 or 2 pack of lacquer depending on the type of wood. If you require a higher level of smoothness, or if the colour of the wood has been altered with a stain, we will apply oils.
- Step 8 – Your parquet floors will be ready for light foot traffic after a few hours. Furniture can then be put back into place gently.
We provide maintenance advice and aftercare products upon request, just ask your technician.

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.
