We sand worn, scratched and faded wood floors back to bare timber, then refinish them in Bona or Osmo. Sealed dust extraction, our own in-house team, and a free survey and quote.
Drag the handle to compare. A real floor we sanded and refinished.
“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.”

We check board thickness, nails and any water damage or warped sections, then send a detailed quote within 48 hours.
Furniture out (we can move heavy items), skirting taped, doorways sealed where needed. Then drum, edger and orbital in three grits, with sealed extraction.
A final buff, then two or three coats of Bona or Osmo finish. We vacuum and tidy at the end of every day.
Very little compared with traditional sanding. Our sanders run on sealed Bona and Lägler extraction units that capture around 95% of the dust at source. A fine residue still settles on flat surfaces, which we vacuum at the end, and we tidy up at the end of each day.
Each room needs to be empty while we sand it. We can move heavy items for you, so tell us what needs moving when we survey. Because we work room by room, the rest of the house stays usable.
Most single rooms take one to two days. A full ground floor is usually three to five days. Stairs add a day because every tread is hand-sanded, and staining typically adds a day for the colour and one for the extra sealing coat.
Yes. We work room by room, seal the working area and leave the rest of the house usable in the evenings.
With a hard-wax oil, the same evening, with a full cure over about a week. With Bona Traffic HD lacquer, after 12 hours, fully cured in seven days. On lacquer, keep pet claws off for 48 hours and wait a week before putting rugs back down.
Sanding removes the top 1-2 mm of timber. Surface scratches, light stains and faded patches almost always disappear. Deep gouges or rot may need board repair before sanding.
Usually, yes. Most engineered boards have a 3-6 mm oak wear layer that can take one or two careful sand-backs over the floor's lifetime. We measure the wear layer on the survey before quoting.
Every floor is different, so we price yours after a free survey and send a detailed quote in writing within 48 hours, with no deposit and no obligation. Photos sent with your enquiry help us quote more accurately, sometimes without a site visit.

Traditional floor sanding fills a house with airborne wood dust for days. We hook our drum sander, edger and orbital straight to sealed extraction units that catch the fine particles at the source, so the room stays workable from the moment we start. Sheets across every doorway and a forensic clean afterwards aren't necessary, the dust never gets out.
Sanding is the foundation of every refinishing job. Done badly, no finish will save the floor; done well, the boards come back to bare timber and take stain and lacquer evenly across every plank. We sand in three grits, vacuum between each pass, and buff before the first coat goes down.
Typical sequence is 40, 80 then 120 grit, with finer passes where the boards demand it. Each pass removes the marks left by the last.
Industrial vacuum units sealed to every sander we run. ~95% of dust captured at source, rather than vented into the room.
Drum sanders only reach so far. We follow up with an edger and hand-block the corners so there's no halo around the room.
We leave the room walkable at the end of each day. No clouds of dust waiting for you the next morning.
Resin-and-dust slurry for narrow gaps, slivered pine for wider ones, board swaps for water damage. We finish so the repair is invisible once the floor is sealed.
Scandinavian whites, fumed oak, smoked walnut, deep ebony. We bring sample boards into your home so you choose the colour with your own light, your own walls and your own floor.
