Floor Sanding Services

Few things transform a room as quickly as a freshly sanded wooden floor. Our Bromley team takes floors that are scratched, stained, grey or patchy back to clean, flat timber, and finish them with oils or lacquers that suit how each room is used.

We always begin with a free survey, honest advice and a fixed written quote, so you know exactly what is involved before any work begins. Extraction on every machine captures around 99% of dust at source, so your home stays clean while we work.

Our floor sanding services

Different timbers and floor types need different techniques. Most projects combine two or three of these:

• Parquet floor sanding — multi-direction sanding for herringbone, chevron and block floors.

• Solid wood floor restoration — hardwood floors taken back to bare timber and refinished.

• Original floorboard restoration — period pine boards cleaned up, repaired and sanded.

• Gap filling between boards — resin filler or reclaimed pine slivers to cut draughts.

• Floor staining — colour samples on your own floor before we commit.

• Stairs stripping and restoration — paint and varnish removed from treads, risers and spindles.

• Garden decking restoration — grey, slippery decking cleaned, sanded and oiled.

What happens on the day

We start by protecting your home: skirting, doorways and nearby rooms are masked, nails are punched below the surface and any loose boards are secured. If boards or blocks are damaged beyond sanding, our wood floor repairs team replaces them with matched timber first.

The floor is then sanded in stages with progressively finer abrasives, removing the old finish and levelling the surface. Edgers and detail sanders take care of the perimeter, corners and under radiators.

Finishes we use

Oils soak into the timber for a warm, natural feel and simple spot repairs, while lacquer creates a hard-wearing surface that shrugs off spills and heavy traffic. If you are not sure, our guide to oil or lacquer explains the pros and cons. All our finishes are low-VOC and safe for families and pets.

Homes, schools and public buildings

Most of our work is in family homes across Bromley, and we regularly work in schools, churches and community halls. Larger buildings are covered by our public spaces service, planned around term times and events.

Looking after your new floor

Light foot traffic is fine after a few hours; furniture can go back after 24–48 hours and rugs after around a week. Oiled floors stay at their best with periodic re-oiling and maintenance, which we are happy to carry out.

What makes our work different

We are a small, experienced team and every job is led by a time-served floor sander. We explain the options honestly, recommend only what your floor needs and keep you updated throughout. Our work is backed by £5m public liability insurance and have more than ten years of experience restoring wooden floors.

Planning your project

A typical room takes one to two days; larger areas or extra repairs add time. Read how long floor sanding takes for a realistic timeline, including curing times before rugs go back. A few simple steps beforehand, such as clearing small items and planning access, help everything run smoothly.

Our restoration work is backed by a 3-month service guarantee, and guide costs are listed on our prices page. For examples of finished floors, take a look at our projects.
