WoodMaster Stockport’s wooden floor restoration process:
- Step 1 – We begin with a free site survey. A full written estimate will be provided and we will agree upon the best approach for your wooden floor. We’ll sign off the full cost of our service and arrange suitable dates to complete the waxing or oiling. We take pride in always arriving on time and completing the job on schedule.
- Step 2 – We begin by sanding the boards to remove old oils and to restore the bare wood. We use large industrial belt and planetary sanding machines to ensure that the boards are flat and smooth. We have a new 3 head machine for newly engineered boards where belt sanders are incompatible.
- Step 3 – Old sealers are stripped around all the edges right up to the skirting boards. Our dust-free edging machines work perfectly for this. We then treat the floor with our 3 head finishing machine. This will polish out minute scratches that sometimes occur during the sanding process. Once finished the floor will be smooth and primed ready for the sealer.
- Step 4 – We demonstrate samples of finishes and stain options to give an idea of what the floor will look like when we’ve finished. We can use a natural lacquer for a beautiful, long-lasting finish, or use a stain to change the colour of the floor completely.
- Step 5 – To fill up the wood and to add a layer of protection, we then apply a base coat.
- Step 6 – When the base coat is dry, we lightly sand the floor. This removes any areas that prickle up from the base coat and prepares the floor for the finish.
- Step 7 – We will apply 2 coats of top finish, which can be a 1 or 2 pack lacquer depending on the type of wood. We can also apply oils after a colour change has taken place or if more smoothness is required.
- Step 8 – When dry, the floor is finished and the restoration is complete. We will then complete the final handover, replace the furniture and the floors are normally ready for walking on in socks and slippers after just a few hours.
After the restoration is finished, we will provide full maintenance advice. Our after-care products are also available for purchase on 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.
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.
