TileMaster Stockport’s parquet floor restoration process:
- Step 1 – Initial site survey and cost estimate. A suitable date and time to attend is agreed with the customer.
- Step 2 – After a punctual arrival we will fully sand the boards to bring out the fresh and untreated wood. Any previous layers of lacquer or oil will be stripped. Our TileMaster industrial belt and planetary sanding machines make the wood smooth and flat with a great finish. We can also use our state-of-the-art 3 head machine which is ideal for engineered boards where sanding isn’t suitable.
- Step 3 – Edging machines are used to strip old sealers around the edges up to the skirting boards without creating dust. We then polish the floor with a 3-head finishing machine. This removes any micro-abrasions that occur during sanding. This leaves the floor perfectly smooth and ready for the sealer.
- Step 4 – We next demonstrate the stain options available to the customer to show off how the finish could look. Natural lacquer offers a durable finish or for a complete change of look we can apply a stain.
- Step 5 – The base coat is applied to create an initial layer of protection.
- Step 6 – A light sand of the floor then fixes any areas that prickle up from the base coat. The preparation of the floor is now finished and the final coats of finish can be applied.
- Step 7 – We add two layers of top finish. This will be a 1 or 2 pack lacquer depending on the specifics of the parquet. If a higher level of smoothness is sought, or if there has been a colour change, we will apply oils.
- Step 8 – The floor must be left for a few hours, then it will be dry enough to return the furniture and to walk on lightly with socks or slippers.
Once finished, we will offer full maintenance advice and provide aftercare products if 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.
