WoodMaster’s wood floor restoration process:
- Step 1 – Free site survey and full written estimate to discuss your requirements and the best techniques to apply to your floor. Here we’ll agree on the full costs of the project and arrange suitable dates for us to complete our work. We pride ourselves on arriving on time and seeing the job through until it is complete, with minimum disruption to you.
- Step 2 – Full sanding of boards to get rid of the old oils and bring back virgin boards. We have the equipment to deal with every situation, including large industrial belt and planetary sanding machines which cut your board smooth and flat, giving it the best finish. We’ve also invested in a new 3 head machine designed for newer engineered boards where belt sanders are not suitable.
- Step 3 – We remove old sealers around all the edges right to the skirting boards with our dustless edging machines, then treat floor with our 3 head finishing machine to remove micro fine scratches from sanding process, leaving the floor smooth and ready for the application of sealer.
- Step 4 – Now we can discuss finishes and stains, and even give you a live trial so you know what it’ll look like. Here we can apply a natural lacquer which gives a wonderful but durable finish. We can also apply a stain to add colour and change the look of the floor completely.
- Step 5 – Apply a base coat to fill up the wood and create the first stage of protection.
- Step 6 – Once the base coat is dry, we then do some light sanding to remove areas that have prickled up from the base coat of sealer. This prepares the floor for the final finish.
- Step 7 – Application of 2 coats of top finish. This can be a 1 or 2 pack lacquer depending on the environment or we can also apply oils when a colour change or premium level for smoothness is required.
- Step 8 – Once dry the floor is now complete and ready for hand over and furniture can be replaced. Floors are normally ready for light traffic with socks and slippers after a few hours.
We can also provide full maintenance advice and after care products where 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.
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.
