The WoodMaster solid wood floor restoration process:
- Step 1 – The process will begin with a free site survey and we will provide a written estimate. We will also discuss in detail the requirements of the floor and the best restoration options. After that, we will agree on the full cost for the project and we will arrange suitable dates and times for work to be completed.
- Step 2 – Once we arrive at your business or home we will begin the restoration by sanding the boards to get rid of old oils and lacquer. Our large industrial belt and planetary sanding machines will make the boards smooth and flat. This will create the best possible finish. We have also bought a new 3 head machine. This machine is perfect for modern engineered boards where belt sanders can’t be used.
- Step 3 – The next step involves stripping away the old sealer around all edges right up to the skirting boards. A dustless edging machine is used for this and then we will use our 3 head finishing machine to get rid of any fine scratches. This leaves the wooden floor smooth and ready for the first coat of new sealer.
- Step 4 – Next, we will give you a demonstration of stain and finish options. We will apply these to the floor so you know what it’ll look like once the work is done. Upon request, we can apply a natural lacquer which will create a great hard-wearing finish. If you prefer, we could use a stain instead and this will add colour to drastically change the appearance of the floor.
- Step 5 – After that, a base coat is applied to fill up the wood. The base coat is the primary stage of protection.
- Step 6 – When the base coat is dry we will then complete a light sanding of the floor. We sand one more time to remove any areas that spike up from the base coat of the sealer. This step gets the floor ready for the final finish.
- Step 7 – Next, we will apply 2 coats of top finish, and depending on the condition of the floor, this can be a 1 or 2 pack lacquer. If a premium level of smoothness is required or if there has been a colour change then we can apply oils.
- Step 8 – Once the floor is dry, it is ready for customer sign-off. You are safe to walk on the floor after a couple of hours.
At the end of the restoration, we will offer full maintenance advice and after-care products can be provided.

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.
