WoodMaster Stockport’s wooden floor restoration process:
- Step 1 – We begin with a free site survey. You will receive a written estimate and a run down of the best restoration options for your floor. After we’ve agreed to the work with you we’ll arrange a suitable time to attend and carry out the work. Our team is always punctual and we’ll finish the restoration with as little disruption as possible.
- Step 2 – The restoration begins with an initial sanding to get rid of old oils. We will bring back the bare natural wood to the surface. Your boards will be made smooth and flat with our large industrial belt and planetary sanding machine. In situations where a belt sander cannot be used we use our new 3 head machine, which is specifically made for newly engineered boards.
- Step 3 – When the previous sealers have been removed, we will use our dustless edging machines to deal with the edges. We then use our 3 head finishing machine to tackle any fine scratches created during sanding. Once that is complete, the floor will be smooth enough to apply the sealer.
- Step 4 – The customer’s chosen stain options and finishes will be applied in the next steps. Natural lacquer is ideal for a brilliant and durable finish, or alternatively we can apply a stain on the floor to enhance the colour. If you would like to change the look of the wood, this is the way to go.
- Step 5 – A base coat is used to fill up the wood and create the first stage of protection.
- Step 6 – When the base coat has dried we lightly sand the entire area to remove any spots that spike up from the base coat. The floor is now ready for finishing.
- Step 7 – Two coats of top finish are applied, which can be a one or two-pack lacquer depending on the type and condition of the wooden floor. If an enhanced level of smoothness is required or the colour has been altered we can also apply oils.
- Step 8 – When the floor is dry all furniture can be moved back. After a few hours the floor can be walked on lightly in socks or slippers.
If any further maintenance advice or aftercare products are needed, please don’t hesitate to ask our friendly team for assistance.

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.
