The WoodMaster Leamington Spa wooden floor restoration process:
● Step 1 – Free site survey. A full written estimate will be presented and we will agree on the best approach. We’ll provide the full cost breakdown and book suitable dates to complete the restoration.
● Step 2 – We begin by sanding the boards to strip old oils and bring back the bare wood. We use industrial belt and planetary sanding machines for this to ensure that the boards are as smooth as possible.
● Step 3 – We strip old sealers right to the skirting boards. We use a dust-free edging machine, then treat the floor with our 3 head finishing machine. This removes micro-fine scratches that occur during sanding. When complete, the floor will be smooth and ready for the sealer.
● Step 4 – Demonstrate samples of finishes and stains so you can see what the floor could look like. We can apply a natural lacquer or a stain to change the colour of the floor.
● Step 5 – To fill up the wood grain and to add protection, we apply a base coat.
● Step 6 – When the base coat dries, we sand the floor. This will fix any areas that spike up from the base coat and prepares the floor for the finish.
● Step 7 – We use 2 coats of top finish either a 1 or 2 pack lacquer depending on the wood. We also use oils when a colour change has taken place or if a higher level of smoothness is required.
● Step 8 – When dry, the floor is finished and the restoration is complete. Furniture can be replaced and the floors are ready for walking on in socks and slippers after a few hours.
After the restoration, we will share full maintenance advice. Our after-care products are also available to purchase 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.
