Floor sanding services by Restore Floor Sanders

Our Services

Restore Floor Sanders specialise in sanding, restoring & finishing original wood flooring across homes and properties in South East London & Kent.

We provide professional floor sanding and restoration for full-room and multi-room projects, delivering consistent, premium results across your property. We specialise in floorboards, hardwood and parquet flooring, using professional dust-controlled equipment for a cleaner, safer and higher-quality finish.

Choosing the Right Approach

Not all floors are suitable for light sanding or recoating.

Where the existing finish has worn through or staining has penetrated the wood, a full sanding process is required to achieve a consistent, long-lasting result.

We do not offer quick cosmetic fixes that won’t last — our focus is on doing the job properly the first time.

Considering floor sanding or restoration works?

We recommend booking in advance to secure preferred dates during busier periods.

Floor Sanding

A large majority of our restoration projects begin with full sanding to remove surface wear, old finishes and minor imperfections. We use a controlled multi-stage sanding process, choosing the correct abrasives and approach based on the timber species and condition of your floor.

This ensures the surface is perfectly flat, smooth and ready for finishing — without taking off more timber than necessary.

Gap Filling

We fill gaps using a fine dust-and-resin mix created from your actual floor, ensuring a natural colour match. This blend fills the gaps between boards and any small cracks, helping to reduce draughts and improve the overall appearance of your flooring.

Staining Services

We use professional Light-fast stains by Mylands and Morrells, offering a wide range of colours to suit traditional and modern interiors. For deeper tones, we also apply tinted hardwax oils by Rubio Monocoat.

A flawless stain relies on flawless sanding — so we ensure the surface is perfectly prepared before any colour is applied.

Floor Finishing

Our most commonly used finishes are premium water-based polyurethane lacquers, chosen for their durability, low odour and quick drying times. Available in Invisible, Ultra-Matt, Matt, Satin and Gloss, these finishes protect the timber while showcasing its natural character.

Our preferred products are Bona and Loba, known for their industry-leading performance and clarity.

Oil Finishes

For clients who prefer a natural, matte and breathable finish, we offer hardwax oils including Treatex Ultra, Morrells XLO and Rubio Monocoat. These oils enhance the grain, offer excellent durability and provide a warm, organic appearance.

Standard applications include
2 coats of Treatex Ultra or Morrells XLO, or
1 coat of Rubio Monocoat (a high-performance 2K penetrating oil).

Floor Maintenance

Floors in high-traffic areas eventually show signs of wear. Acting early prevents long-term damage. Our most common maintenance service is a screen & seal, which involves lightly keying the surface and re-coating with lacquer or oil to restore protection and appearance.

This keeps your floors looking great for years while extending the lifespan of the finish.

How We Provide Quotes

Every floor is different — timber type, age, previous coatings, wear patterns and subfloor movement all influence the work required. Because of this, we don’t offer fixed or generic pricing.

Instead, we assess each floor individually and provide a clear, detailed quote based on its exact condition and the finish you want. This ensures accuracy, fairness and full transparency before any work begins.

You’ll always receive a professional assessment and an itemised quote with no guesswork and no surprises.

Not sure what level of sanding your floor needs?

Every floor behaves differently depending on age, timber, condition and how it’s used. We assess your floors properly before recommending the most suitable approach — whether that’s a complete restoration or a maintenance refresh.
