WoodMaster’s parquet floor restoration process:
- Step 1 – We begin with a site survey and written estimate. This is where we agree to all the costs of the project and arrange suitable dates for engineers to attend your property or business.
- Step 2 – Full sanding of boards to bring back fresh, untreated boards and remove old layers of lacquer or oil. Our specialist industrial belt and planetary sanding machines ensure the board is smooth and flat, giving it the best possible finish. We also have a state of the art 3 head machine which is tailored for newly engineered boards. This is a great option when belt sanders aren’t suitable for the job.
- Step 3 – Next we make sure old sealers are removed around all the edges and right up to the skirting boards with our edging machines, which are virtually dust free. After that we treat the floor with our 3 head finishing machine, which removes micro abrasions from the sanding process, leaving the floor smooth and ready for us to apply the sealer.
- Step 4 – Finishes and stain options can be demonstrated in a live environment so you can see exactly how the finish will appear. At this stage we can apply a natural lacquer for a pleasant and durable finish, and we can even use a stain to change the look of the floor more dramatically, if you wish.
- Step 5 – We apply a base coat to fill up the parquet floor and provide its first layer of protection.
- Step 6 – After the base coat is dried we carry out a light sand of the floor to treat any areas that have prickled up from the base coat of sealer. Now we can apply the final finish.
- Step 7 – Application of two layers of top finish, which can be a 1 or 2 pack lacquer depending on the specifics of the floor. We can also apply oils when a colour change or premium level of smoothness is desired.
- Step 8 – After a few hours, when it has finished drying, the floor will be suitable to be walked on and for furniture to be arranged on it again.

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.
