The WoodMaster wooden floor restoration process:
- Step 1 – Before we start work we carry out a free site survey and estimate. A full written estimate will be provided and we will discuss the best approach for your floor. We’ll then approve the full costs of the service and book suitable dates to complete the work. Our team will arrive punctually and complete the job in good time.
- Step 2 – We’ll begin the process by sanding the boards to remove all old oils and restore the bare wood. Our industrial belt and planetary sanding machines will ensure that the boards are smooth and flat. For newer engineered boards our 3 head machine will be used.
- Step 3 – Old sealers will be stripped around all the edges of the floor right to the skirting boards using our dust-free edging machines. This removes any micro-fine scratches that can occur during the sanding process. Once finished the floor will be smooth and primed ready for the sealer.
- Step 4 – Next, we will demonstrate finishes and stain options to preview the completed floor. We can use a natural lacquer which will provide a tough, long-lasting finish, or use a stain to change the colour of the floor completely.
- Step 5 – We then apply a base coat to fill up the wood grain and build a first layer of protection.
- Step 6 – We gently sand the floor after the base coat dries. This removes any areas that spike up from the base coat and prepares the floor for finishing.
- Step 7 – We apply 2 coats of top finish, either 1 or 2 pack lacquer depending on the type of wood. We can also use oils when a colour change has taken place or for even better smoothness.
- Step 8 – Once dry, the floor is finished. We carry out a final handover and advise that the floor is normally ready for socks and slippers after a few hours.
After the restoration, we can provide full future floor care advice. Our after-care products are also available for purchase on request.

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.
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
All products used are within the manufacturer’s guidelines, and where applicable your flooring manufacture own brand products can be used.
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.
