Our 5-Step Wood Floor Sanding Process
Step 1 – Survey And Floor Assessment
We start with a free visit to assess your floor’s condition, layout and wear patterns. We check edges, thresholds and high-traffic areas and flag anything that could affect the final result, such as loose boards, historic repairs or stubborn coatings. You’ll also get clear guidance on preparing the space.
Step 2 – Quote And Scope Confirmation
You receive a transparent quotation that sets out the sanding approach, finish options and expected timings. This stage is where we align the finish choice with your priorities, such as durability in busy areas, 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, which helps keep adjoining areas cleaner and reduces post-job cleanup.
Step 4 – Finishing
We apply your chosen finish, either water-based or oil-based, selected for durability, appearance and ongoing 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.
Step 5 – Aftercare Support
When the job is complete, we provide aftercare guidance and recommended products from Pallman. This helps you protect the finish, avoid common cleaning mistakes and keep the floor looking consistent over time.
Choosing The Right Finish For Your Shere Property
Finish choice has a big impact on how a floor looks, how it wears and how easy it is to maintain. During your survey we’ll talk through what matters most to you, then recommend options that suit the space.
-
For busy family areas, we often recommend a finish that prioritises surface protection and consistent wear
-
For character floors where grain and warmth matter, we can guide you towards finishes that enhance the natural look
-
For lighter interiors, we can advise on finishes that keep timber looking clean without an overly glossy result
-
For kitchens, hallways and entrances, we consider durability, slip feel and maintenance demands
