Our engineered wood floor restoration process in Stockport:
- Step 1 – We begin the restoration process by carrying out a free site survey. We provide an estimate of the cost and agree on the best way to meet your requirements. A suitable time and date for our engineers to attend is agreed. Our team always arrives punctually, the job will be completed to the best standard, and minimal disruption will be caused to your surroundings.
- Step 2 – The restoration will start with light sanding to remove any previous lacquer or oils to restore the clean boards. Our industrial belt and planetary sanding machines smooth the boards totally flat for a seamless finish. If belt sanders are not suitable for your modern engineered boards we have a specialist three head machine.
- Step 3 – We use dustless edging machines to strip the old sealers right up to the skirting. To remove any fine scratches left behind after sanding we use our three head finishing machines. After this, the floor is ready for the sealer.
- Step 4 – The customer can pick the look of their floor by choosing one of our different finishes and stain options. We demonstrate samples on the floor to present the options. To leave the floor with a hard-wearing finish, we will also apply a natural lacquer. If you would like to change the look of the floor completely then we can use a stain.
- Step 5 – We apply a base coat and this will create the first stage of protection.
- Step 6 – When the base coat is dry we carry out the final sanding to treat any areas that push up from the base coat of sealer, preparing the floor for the finish.
- Step 7 – We apply two coats of top finish, which is usually a 1 or 2 pack lacquer; it just depends on the condition of the floor. We can apply oils if there has been a colour change or if a higher level of smoothness is sought.
- Step 8 – Once the floor is dry, our work is finished. The floor is then ready for the final handover. We can help with moving back your furniture. For the next few hours there should only be light foot traffic with socks and slippers.
We are always happy to provide our customers with full maintenance advice. After-care products are available when 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 engineered 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
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.
