The WoodMaster solid wood floor restoration process:
● Step 1 – Free site survey and written estimate. We discuss in detail the requirements of the floor and the best restoration options. After that, we agree on the full cost for the project and arrange suitable dates and times for work to be done.
● Step 2 – Once we arrive at your business or home we begin the restoration by sanding the boards to get rid of old oils and lacquer. Our large industrial belt and planetary sanding machines make the boards smooth and flat. This creates the best possible finish.
● Step 3 – Stripping away the old sealer around all edges right up to the skirting boards. A dustless edging machine is used, then we will use our 3 head finishing machine to get rid of any fine scratches. This leaves the wooden floor smooth and ready for the first coat of sealer.
● Step 4 – We give you a demonstration of stain and finish options. We will apply these to the floor so you know exactly how it’ll look once the work is done. We can apply a natural lacquer which will create a great hard-wearing finish or if you prefer, we can use a stain to drastically change the appearance of the floor.
● Step 5 – A base coat is applied to fill up the wood grain. The base coat is the primary stage of seal protection.
● Step 6 – When the base coat has dried we complete a light sanding of the floor. We sand one final time to fix any areas that spike up from the base coat of the sealer. This step gets the floor ready for top coat finish.
● Step 7 – We apply 2 coats of top finish, depending on the condition of the wood, this can be a 1 or 2 pack lacquer. If an extra level of smoothness is required or if there has been a colour change, we can also apply oils.
● Step 8 – When the floor is dry, it is ready for sign-off. You’re safe to walk on the floor after a couple of hours in socks and slippers.
At the end of the restoration, we will leave you with full maintenance advice and after-care products can be provided.

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.
