Safe & Controlled Engineered Floor Sanding

Engineered wood flooring requires a more controlled sanding approach than solid hardwood.

Unlike solid boards, engineered floors have a defined wear layer. The sanding process must be carried out carefully to preserve the integrity of that surface while still achieving a full restoration.

Our approach includes:

1. Controlled multi-stage sanding

2. Careful grit progression

3. Even surface levelling

4. Precision edge and corner detailing

5. Continuous monitoring of surface depth

With a background in fine wood finishing, we understand how timber reacts during sanding and finishing. This ensures engineered flooring is restored safely and professionally.

Complete Sanding & Restoration

Over time, engineered floors can suffer from:

Surface wear

Deep scratch

Dull finish build-up

Loss of clarity in oak grain

Orange tones from ageing lacquer

We carry out complete sanding and restoration — removing the old surface, carefully preparing the timber and applying a durable, long-lasting protective finish.

Many engineered oak floors that appear heavily worn can be restored to a cleaner, more natural appearance.

Durable, Natural Finish Options

Most engineered oak floors are restored using clear, non-ambering finishing systems designed to maintain a natural timber appearance.

Many clients wish to remove the orange tone caused by ageing lacquer. Through complete sanding and modern finishing systems, we restore a cleaner, balanced oak colour.

For those who prefer a slightly darker or adjusted tone, stain options can also be applied before finishing.

Our focus is long-term durability and consistent surface clarity.

When Is Engineered Floor Sanding Suitable?

Many engineered floors can be successfully restored depending on their construction and condition. We assess the floor before confirming works and provide clear advice on the best approach. With the correct sanding method and finishing system, engineered floors can achieve results comparable to solid hardwood.
