What we do

What we'll do for your floor.

Most jobs combine several of the steps below. Every WM sanding job is delivered end-to-end by our in-house team: sealed dust extraction, Bona finishes, daily clean-up. No subcontractors, no surprises on day three.

Also fitting

Need a new floor too? We still fit solid, engineered and parquet floors across London. Mention it on the form and we'll quote both together.

What we put on your floor

Bona & Osmo finishes. The gold standard for wood floors.

We finish every floor with Bona or Osmo Swedish and German manufacturers who set the benchmark for wood-floor coatings. Both cost us more than the cheaper trade alternatives. We use them anyway because nothing else lasts as long under London foot traffic.

Bona

Sweden · Water-based system

  • Bona Traffic HD

    The toughest commercial-grade lacquer on the market. Used in hotels, galleries and listed buildings, low-VOC and walkable in 12 hours.

  • Bona Mix & Fill

    Resin and sanding-dust slurry for invisible gap filling that takes stain just like the surrounding boards.

Osmo

Germany · Hard-wax oils

  • Osmo Polyx-Oil 3032

    The classic German hard-wax oil. Natural matt sheen that lets the grain breathe, repairable in patches, food-safe once cured.

  • Osmo Wood Wax Finish

    Pigmented oil-wax for stairs, hallways and high-wear rooms where we want colour and protection in one coat.

How we work

From first inspection to final coat, every step is run by the same team.

Free site survey

We come to you, check board condition and existing finish, and bring stain samples so you can decide in the room.

Wojtek and his colleague did another excellent job sanding and resealing our badly marked oak floor, which now looks like new again. They were punctual, tidy, moved the furniture and are nice to deal with. Highly recommended.

Repair of engineered timber floor which had deep gouges and water damage near the washing machine. Wojtek and Kamil did a great job fixing the damage, sanding and refinishing the floor. Good communication throughout, a really positive experience. Thank you.

Could not be happier with the service and resulting finish done by Wojciech and his team taking my flooring from a natural/honey tone to a darker brown. Great with communication, they left everything clean and tidy after they finished and my flooring looks incredible! Highly recommended!

I would like to highly recommend WM Solid Floors! They recently carried out the renovation and varnishing of my floors, and the final result exceeded my expectations. The work was done with the utmost care and precision, visible in every detail. I have been working with this company for many years and have always been very satisfied. If you're looking for a reliable, meticulous and professional team for flooring work, I wholeheartedly recommend them.

The team at WM Solid Floors were absolutely brilliant. They arrived when they said they would and finished precisely on the day they said they would. We are delighted with the new herringbone floor in our front bedroom and they also helped us out with sanding out a deep scratch in the kitchen floor and fixed some unfinished herringbone flooring in another bedroom. We will definitely be asking them to quote for future work.

Wojtek from WM Solid Floors was brilliant, his level of detail in sanding and varnishing my floor boards was A*, my floors look brand new! Great communication, high level of detail, reasonable fair pricing and he took away all his dust/rubbish. Thank you Wojtek.
