How can you tell whether your parquet floors need varnishing?
- Has your parquet floor started to look lifeless and tired?
- Put a tablespoon of water on the surface of your floor. Does the wood absorb the water? The water should sit on top.
- Have you noticed marks on the floor from moving furniture like chairs or are there heel marks on the floor?
- Is general maintenance not improving the appearance of the parquet floor?

WoodMaster’s process for parquet floor varnishing:
- Step 1 – Before we begin we will offer a free site survey and we will provide a written estimate for the work. We will also schedule a time and date for the service to be completed.
- Step 2 – To start the process, we will fully strip the boards to remove the previous lacquer and oils. This will bring back the original boards. Our large industrial belt and planetary sanding machines will make the floorboards smooth and flat. We will also have a brand new 3 head machine at hand. This is a custom-made machine for newly engineered boards and we use it when belt sanders can’t be used.
- Step 3 – Next, we will strip the previous sealer from around the edges, all the way to the skirting boards. We will use our dustless edging machines for this. Then we will treat the floor with our 3 head finishing machine to get rid of any micro-scratches caused by our sanding process. This will leave the floor smooth and ready for sealer.
- Step 4 – We will then show the customer what the floor will look like by using samples of finishes and stain options. A natural lacquer can also be applied for a durable but aesthetically pleasing finish. You can also choose one of our many stains to get a different look for the floor without having to replace it.
- Step 5 – At this point, we will apply the first coat of protection on your parquet floors.
- Step 6 – Once the first coat is dry we will lightly sand the floor one more time to smooth all areas. Now the floor is ready for the final finish.
- Step 7 – We will apply two coats of our top finish and this can be a 1 or 2 pack of lacquer depending on the type of wood. If you require a premium level of smoothness, or if the colour of the wood has changed, we will apply oils on request.
- Step 8 – Finally, your parquet floors will be ready for light foot traffic, and after a few hours your furniture can be put back into place.
We can offer full maintenance advice and aftercare products upon 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.
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.
