The WoodMaster wooden floor restoration process:
- Step 1 – Before we start work we will offer a free site survey. This is where a full written estimate will be given and we will agree on the best approach for your floor. We’ll provide the full costs of the service and we will book suitable dates to complete the restoration. We take pride in always arriving punctually and for completing the job in good time. Our service causes minimal disruption to you.
- Step 2 – On the day we’ll begin the process by sanding the boards to strip old oils and to bring back the bare wood. We have large industrial belt and planetary sanding machines for this to ensure that the boards are smooth and flat. We have also invested in a new 3 head machine. This is designed for newer engineered boards where belt sanders can’t be used.
- Step 3 – The next step involves stripping old sealers around all the edges right to the skirting boards. We use our dust-free edging machines for this and then we treat the floor with our 3 head finishing machine. This will polish out micro-fine scratches that can occur during the sanding process. Once complete the floor will be smooth and primed ready for the application of sealer.
- Step 4 – Next, we will demonstrate samples of finishes and stain options so you can see what the floor will look like when we’ve finished. We can also apply a natural lacquer which will give a beautiful but tough, long-lasting finish. At this point, we can even use a stain to change the colour of the floor completely.
- Step 5 – To fill up the wood and to build a layer of protection, we will apply a base coat.
- Step 6 – After the base coat is dry, we gently sand the floor. This will remove any areas that spike up from the base coat of the sealer and this prepares the floor for the finish.
- Step 7 – Next, we will apply 2 coats of top finish. This can be a 1 or 2 pack lacquer but this depends on the type of wood. We can also apply oils when a colour change has taken place or if a premium level of smoothness is required.
- Step 8 – Once dry, the floor is now finished and the restoration is complete. We will then complete the final handover. Furniture can now be put back and the floors are normally ready for walking in socks and slippers after a few hours.
After the restoration, we can provide full maintenance advice. Our after-care products are also available on 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.
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.
