How to tell when your parquet floor needs varnishing?
- Does your parquet floor look lifeless and tired?
- Put a tablespoon of water on the surface of the wood, does it sit on top or does the wood absorb the water? Absorption is a sign work is needed.
- Are there marks or scratches on the floor from moving furniture like chairs or shoe heels?
- Is general maintenance failing to improve the appearance of the parquet floor?

WoodMaster’s process for parquet floor varnishing:
- Step 1 – We start with a free site survey and a written estimate for the work. We will schedule a time and date to attend and carry out the work.
- Step 2 – To begin, we fully strip the parquet boards to strip the previous lacquer and oils. This brings back the original boards. Our professional belt and planetary sanding machines make the boards smooth and flat. We have a brand new 3 head machine which is custom made for newly engineered boards if needed.
- Step 3 – Previous sealer is stripped from around the edges right up to the skirting boards. We will use specialist edging machines for this. The floor is treated with our 3 head finishing machine to remove any micro-scratches caused by the sanding process. This floor is now smooth and ready for sealer.
- Step 4 – We show the customer a preview of the finish using samples of finishes and stain options. A natural lacquer can be applied for a durable finish or one of our many stains can be used to create a different appearance for the floor without having to replace it.
- Step 5 – We apply the first coat of protection for the parquet floors.
- Step 6 – When this dries we lightly sand the floor one more time to smooth all areas. Now the floor is ready for final finishing.
- Step 7 – Two coats of our top finish are applied. This will be either a 1 or 2 pack of lacquer depending on the type of parquet. For a premium level of smoothness, or if the colour of the wood has changed, we can also apply oils on request.
- Step 8 – Your parquet floor will be ready for light foot traffic after a few hours, at which point furniture can be gently put back into place.
We also offer full maintenance advice and aftercare products upon 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.
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.
