Wood Floor Sanding Arundel – Floors That Look Brand New
Sussex Floor Restoration provides professional wood floor sanding in Arundel, restoring timber floors in homes and commercial spaces with a clean, modern process. If your floor has become scratched, dulled by daily footfall, uneven underfoot or marked by old coatings, sanding and refinishing can return a smooth surface and a protective finish that suits everyday use.
We use a 98% dust-free sanding system, apply low-VOC finishes and follow a clear five-step workflow so you can plan around the work with confidence. Every project is backed by a two-year workmanship warranty through our Parkett Profi accreditation.
Why Choose Sussex Floor Restoration In Arundel
Arundel properties often include older timber floors, character boards and parquet features that need a careful approach.

Heritage And High-Footfall Considerations In Arundel
Arundel includes a mix of lived-in homes, visitor-focused premises and older buildings where floors carry decades of wear. During your survey we look for the factors that shape the safest and most effective restoration plan.
Wear concentrated in narrow routes, stair landings and entrance halls
Older coatings that have built up over time and require controlled removal
Board movement and historic repairs that affect sanding consistency
Patchy tone caused by sunlight, rugs and furniture placement
Edges and thresholds that have worn faster than the centre of the room
If the boards are structurally sound, sanding and refinishing can preserve original timber while improving durability and day-to-day cleaning.
Our 5-Step Wood Floor Sanding Process
Step 1 – Survey And Floor Assessment
We start with a free visit to assess condition, layout and wear patterns. We check edges, thresholds, corners and high-traffic routes and identify anything that could affect the final result, such as loose boards, historic repairs, gaps, adhesive residue or stubborn coatings. You’ll also receive practical guidance on preparing the space so the work runs smoothly.
Step 2 – Quote And Scope Confirmation
You receive a transparent quotation that sets out the sanding approach, finish options and realistic timings, including drying and curing expectations. This stage is where we align the finish choice with your priorities, such as durability for busy entrances, a particular sheen level or a look that suits your interior.
Step 3 – Dust-Free Sanding
We sand back old finishes, surface marks and uneven patches using machines with integrated dust extraction. Our system captures 98% of airborne dust during sanding, reducing spread into adjacent rooms and cutting down cleanup. This is particularly useful in older properties and in commercial spaces where cleanliness matters.
Step 4 – Finishing
We apply your chosen finish, either water-based or oil-based, selected for durability, appearance and maintenance. Water-based finishes are often chosen for a clean, natural tone and strong surface protection. Oil-based finishes can add warmth and bring out grain, particularly on older timber. All finishes we use are low in VOCs. We’ll also advise on reintroducing furniture and rugs so the coating cures properly.
Step 5 – Aftercare Support
Once complete, we provide aftercare guidance and recommended products from Pallman. This includes cleaning routines, what to avoid and practical protective steps for entrances and high-traffic routes, helping the finish stay consistent for longer.
Choosing The Right Finish For Arundel Homes And Premises
Finish choice affects how the floor wears, how it looks in changing light and how easy it is to maintain. During your survey we recommend options based on how the space is actually used.
For hallways and entrances, we prioritise predictable wear and easy cleaning
For older boards, we consider finishes that suit grain and natural tone without an artificial look
For shops, hospitality and visitor-facing premises, we plan around footfall and cleaning frequency
For kitchens and open-plan layouts, we consider durability and maintenance routines across connected rooms
