When Is Full Restoration Needed?
A complete restoration is ideal if your timber floor shows signs of:
– Deep gouges or impact damage
– Water stains, swelling or mould
– Unevenness, cupping or crowning
– Black spots from pet urine or rust
– Widespread loose, split or missing boards
– Thick, old coatings that have degraded over time
Our Timber Floor Restoration Process
1. Thorough Site Assessment
We begin with a detailed inspection of the floor’s condition along with timber species, subfloor stability and extent of damage. From there we develop a tailored restoration plan that addresses both cosmetic and structural issues.
2. Repair & Replacement of Damaged Boards
Before any sanding begins, we:
– Identify and remove irreparably damaged or rotten boards
– Replace with matching timber (recycled or new, depending on availability and project goals)
– Re-nail or screw down loose boards to eliminate creaking or movement
– Level uneven areas as needed
Where patching is done we always attempt to carefully match grain direction and timber tone to blend with existing finish.
3. Deep Sanding & Surface Preparation
Using industrial-grade and dust-controlled sanding machines we perform a multi-stage sanding process:
Stage 1: Aggressive Sanding
We begin with coarse-grade abrasives to strip back thick, uneven coatings, stains and damage. This can include cross-grain sanding or diagonal cuts to level severely warped areas.
Stage 2: Medium Sanding
We smooth and refine the surface, removing any remaining imperfections.
Stage 3: Fine Sanding
Final passes with fine-grade abrasives prepare the timber for finishing leaving a clean, smooth canvas that highlights the grain beautifully.
We also edge-sand perimeters and hand-finish corners and tight areas for a consistent result.
4. Optional Staining or Colour Matching
If the floor has undergone patch repairs or you’re seeking a different aesthetic, we offer:
– Custom stains to unify tone
– Lime washing or bleaching for a lighter, modern feel
– Colour matching to blend old and new timber seamlessly
We’ll provide test patches to ensure the final colour is exactly what you envision.
5. Polishing & Sealing
We apply multiple coats of premium finish to protect and enhance the timber:
Finish Options:
– Water-based polyurethane: Matte, satin, or gloss; low-VOC and fast-curing
– Solvent-based polyurethane: High-durability, deep-toned finishes
– Hardwax oils: Natural, breathable finish for a more organic look
Each coat is lightly sanded between applications for optimal adhesion and a flawless result.
6. Final Buffing & Inspection
- We complete the restoration with a gentle final buff (if required) and a comprehensive inspection to ensure your floor meets our exacting standards and your expectations.
The Result: A Completely Rejuvenated Timber Floor
– Structurally sound and visually stunning
– Restored grain clarity and tone
