WoodMaster Frome’s wooden floor restoration process:
- Step 1 – We begin the process by carrying out a free site survey. We will produce a full written estimate and give you the best restoration options for your wooden floor. After we’ve agreed with you on the price we’ll arrange a suitable time for our work to be carried out. Our team is always on time and we’ll complete the restoration with as little disruption as possible.
- Step 2 – The restoration starts with us sanding the floor to get rid of old oils. We will bring back the bare wooden boards. We make sure that your boards are smooth and flat with our large industrial belt and planetary sanding machines. If a belt sander cannot be used we will use our new 3 head machine specifically made for newly engineered boards.
- Step 3 – Once the previous sealers have been removed from the floor and around the edges, we will use our dustless edging machines. After that, we will use our 3 head finishing machine on any fine scratches created during sanding. Once that is complete, the floor will be smooth enough for the new sealer.
- Step 4 – The chosen stain options and finishes will be put on in the next steps. Natural lacquer is perfect for a brilliant and durable finish. We can also apply a stain on the floor which will enhance the colour. This is a great option if you would like to completely change the look of the wood.
- Step 5 – We will apply a base coat to fill up the wood. This creates the first stage of protection.
- Step 6 – Once the base coat has dried, we will lightly sand the area to remove any areas that prickle up from the base coat of the sealer. This prepares the floor for the finish.
- Step 7 – Next, two coats of top finish are applied, which can be a one or two-pack lacquer depending on the individual restoration. If an enhanced level of smoothness is needed or the colour has been changed we can apply oils.
- Step 8 – Once the wooden floor is dry your furniture can be moved back. A few hours after that you can lightly walk on the floor with socks or slippers on.
If any further maintenance advice or aftercare products are needed, just ask our friendly team for assistance.

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.
