Our floor polishing process:
- Step 1 – To start we do a survey and provide a written estimate, without charge, to determine what requirements your floor has and what techniques we’ll use. Once we’ve agreed on the full cost of the project we will schedule a suitable time for staff to attend.
- Step 2 – On the day, old sealers will be completely stripped from all edges right up to the skirting boards using our dustless edging machines. We then treat the floor with our 3 head finishing machine, which gets rid of any micro fine scratches from the sanding process. This leaves the floor smooth and ready for the sealer.
- Step 4 – Finishes and stain options are shown on the floor so clients can get a good idea of what the floor will look like. At this point we can also use a natural lacquer which gives a natural and lasting finish, and we could even apply a stain to add colour as desired and change the appearance of the floor completely.
- Step 5 – We add a base coat to fill up the wood and provide its first stage of protection.
- Step 6 – Once the base coat is dry we will sand the surface to smooth any areas that prickle up from the base coat of sealer, preparing the floor for the final finish.
- Step 7 – Next we use two coats of top finish, which can be a 1 or 2 pack lacquer, depending on the situation. We can also apply oils for a colour change or to enhance the smoothness of the floor.
- Step 8 – Once dry, the restoration is complete and ready for hand over, within a few hours furniture can be returned.
Full maintenance advice is provided and we can give you guidance on 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.
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.
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.
