What does wood flooring restoration involve?

Wood floor restoration usually involves:

• Removing any old coverings (carpet, lino) to expose the bare wood
• Floor sanding to remove scratches, stains, and surface damage
• Repairs: replacing damaged boards, filling gaps, and levelling uneven boards
• Staining or refining colour to refresh appearance or match decor
• Sealing or finishing with durable protective coatings (e.g., lacquer, polyurethane, oil, wax)
• Optional extras: buffing, gap-filling, finishing upgrades, or bespoke finishes

How do you make old wood floors look good again?

When cleaning and buffing don't help, sanding and refinishing your wood flooring is a great way to make old wood floors look their best again.

• Sanding can revamp your wood flooring by removing deep scratches and dark stains
• Refinishing involves removing your floor's current varnish, sealing, and staining. It lets you restore your wood flooring to its original, beautiful hue

How much does wood flooring restoration cost?

The average cost of wood flooring restoration is around £42 per m² for sanding and refinishing. Floor staining typically costs in the region of £13 per m².

If you require extras such as furniture or carpet removal, expect to pay a little more. As a guide, carpet removal tends to cost around £10 per m².

Wood floor materials and finishes

• Solid hardwood: very durable, can be sanded multiple times; great for deep restoration
• Engineered wood: has a thinner wear layer — restoration is possible, but only a limited number of times
• Finishes: options include lacquer (durable & glossy), oil or hardwax oil (more natural look), or wax (traditional but more maintenance)

Regulations and standards to be aware of

• UK building standards call for certain levels of slip resistance and safety when refinishing; finishes should comply
• If your property is listed or in a conservation area, there may be restrictions on visible changes
• Proper sealing and moisture control are essential to avoid warping or wood damage

A checked wood flooring restoration company in your area will ensure the work adheres to relevant standards and compliance.

How long does wood floor restoration take?

• A single small room: often 1 day (sanding, staining, sealing) if preparation is straightforward
• Medium-sized floors with some repair: 2–3 days, especially if multiple coats or gap work are needed
• Larger areas or severe damage (boards replaced, structure issues): can stretch to 4–5 days or more

Tips for choosing wood flooring restoration services in your area

When you need wood flooring restoration services near you, follow these steps to help ensure the right choice of hire:

• View before and after photos of past works to check the quality of sanding and finish
• Read customer reviews and ask about the warranty or guarantee on the work
• Check what type of wood your floor is (solid vs engineered) before confirming the price
• Confirm drying times for finishes so you know when you can walk on the floor again or move furniture back into position
• Request at least three quotes and ask what’s included: materials, stain, finish coats, repairs, or furniture removal
