WoodMaster’s floor staining process:
- Step 1 – Site survey and full written estimate to discuss the requirements of the floor and best potential options for your floor. Here we can agree on cost and scheduling.
- Step 2 – When we arrive, we start with a full sanding of boards to remove old lacquer and oils, bringing back virgin boards. Our large industrial belt and planetary sanding machines cut your board smooth and flat, giving it a beautiful finish. We have also recently invested in a new 3 head machine that is designed for modern engineered boards where belt sanders won’t work.
- Step 3 – After we’ve removed the old sealer all the way up to the skirting boards, we then treat the floor with our 3 head finishing machine to remove micro fine scratches from the sanding process, leaving the floor smooth and ready for us to apply a new sealer.
- Step 4 – We’ll give you a demonstration of finishes / stain options on your floor so you can see what the finish will look like. At this point we can also apply a natural lacquer which gives a charming but durable finish. Stains can be applied if you want to change the look of the floor more drastically.
- Step 5 – Now we apply a base coat to fill up the wood and give it is first stage of protection.
- Step 6 – Once the base coat is dry we conduct a light sand the floor one last time to remove any areas that prickle up from the base coat of sealer. This prepares the floor for the final finish.
- Step 7 – Application of 2 coats of top finish, which can be a 1 or 2 pack lacquer depending on the environment, or we can apply oils when a colour change or premium level of smoothness is required.
- Step 8 – Once dry, the floor is now ready for use again. We’ll advise how long you should wait until walking on it.
Full maintenance advice is provided and after care products where requested.

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.
