Why Choose Wood Floor Sanding & Restoration?
Over time, wooden floors naturally lose their sheen and may develop scratches, dents, stains, gaps and uneven patches. Wood floor sanding in London removes the worn surface layer, exposing fresh timber beneath and creating the perfect base for new finishes such as lacquer or hard-wax oil.
This process not only restores the appearance of your flooring but also significantly improves hygiene, reduces allergens, enhances durability and increases the overall value of your property.
Our Wood Floor Sanding & Restoration Process
1. Preparation & Subfloor Checks
Before sanding begins, we inspect the surface and subfloor to identify loose boards, gaps, lifted edges and moisture-related issues. Any unstable areas are secured or replaced to ensure a safe and even sanding process. Furniture is removed and the space is prepared for a clean, dust-controlled restoration environment.
2. Dust-Free Sanding
Timberzone uses professional sanding machinery equipped with dust extraction systems to minimise airborne particles. Multiple sanding passes are carried out using coarse, medium and fine abrasives to remove old finishes, surface damage and unevenness before achieving a perfectly smooth, level result.
3. Gap Filling
For floors with visible gaps, we apply resin-based fillers or timber slivers to improve appearance, reduce draughts and stabilise the floor surface. Gap filling also improves hygiene by preventing dust and dirt from collecting between boards.
4. Staining & Colour Matching
If you would like to change or enhance the colour of your wooden floor, we offer a wide range of stain options including natural oak, smoked tones, walnut shades, Scandinavian whites and bespoke mixed colours. Our colour-matching service ensures smooth transitions between rooms and existing décor.
5. Finishing & Protection
Once sanding is complete, your floor is finished with either a lacquer or hard-wax oil:
- Lacquer: A tough, protective surface coating ideal for high-traffic areas
- Hard-wax oil: A natural matte finish that allows the timber to breathe and is easy to refresh
Both finishes enhance the natural grain of the wood while protecting against daily wear, moisture and stains.
Suitable Flooring Types for Sanding & Restoration
Our wood floor sanding and restoration services in London cover a wide range of flooring types:
- Engineered wood flooring (when the wear layer is sufficient)
- Solid hardwood flooring such as oak, walnut and ash
- Herringbone, chevron and traditional parquet blocks
- Mosaic floors and heritage timber installations
How Long Does Wood Floor Sanding Take?
Most sanding and restoration projects in London take between one and three days, depending on the total floor area, level of repairs required and the finishing system selected. Hard-wax oils often require additional curing time, while lacquered floors may need multiple coats for full protection.
How to Maintain Your Newly Restored Floor
To maximise the lifespan of your restored floor we recommend:
- Regular sweeping or vacuuming using soft floor attachments
- Using barrier mats at entrances
- Avoiding excessive moisture during cleaning
- Fitting furniture pads to chair and table legs
- Applying periodic maintenance oil or refresh coats when required
Following these simple maintenance steps helps preserve the finish and appearance of your floor for many years.
