WoodMaster’s parquet floor restoration process:
- Step 1 – Free site survey and written estimate of all costs tailored to your specific situation and what options you have with your parquet floor. Full costs of the project are agreed and arrange suitable dates for engineers to attend are set. Our engineers arrive on time and complete the job quickly and quietly, with minimum disruption to you.
- Step 2 – Full sanding of boards ensures removal of old lacquer and oils to bring back fresh, untreated boards. Our specialist industrial belt and planetary sanding machines cut the board smooth and flat, giving it the best possible finish. We also have a state of the art 3 head machine that is tailored for newly engineered boards, great for when belt sanders are not suitable.
- Step 3 – We ensure full removal of old sealers around all edges right to the skirting boards using our dustless edging machines. Then we treat the floor with our 3 head finishing machine, which removes micro abrasions from the sanding process, leaving the floor beautifully smooth and ready for sealer application.
- Step 4 – Finishes and stain options are demonstrated in a live environment so you can see exactly how the finish will appear. Here we can apply a natural lacquer for a pleasant and durable finish. We can even apply a stain to add colour preferences and change the look of the floor dramatically.
- Step 5 – Base coat applied to fill up the parquet floor and give it its first layer of protection.
- Step 6 – Base coat is dried and we then carry out a light sand of the floor one last time to treat any areas that prickle up from the base coat of sealer. This completes preparation of the floor for the final finish.
- Step 7 – Application of two layers of top finish. This can be a 1 or 2 pack lacquer depending on the specifics of the floor, or we can apply oils when a colour change or premium level of smoothness is desired.
- Step 8 – After a few hours, when it has finished drying, the floor will be suitable for the return of furniture and light foot traffic with socks and slippers.
Full maintenance advice can be provided, and you can purchase 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.
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.
The length of process varies depending on the level of damage and thickness of the old surface, but normally most household projects under 50 sqm take about 1.5 days. On the first day we can do the sanding and apply the base coat. This is then left to dry and we’ll return the following morning to start applying the 2 top coats. Again, smaller rooms with furniture take longer, whereas bigger open spaces with no furniture can be completed more quickly.
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
It depends on the original condition of your parquet floor, but we can normally restore it to a just-laid finish.
All products used are within the manufacturer’s guidelines, and where applicable your flooring manufacture own brand products can be used.
