Professional Floor Sanding in Gainsborough
We offer professional floor sanding in Gainsborough, using a careful, multi-stage sanding process designed to restore wooden floors properly — not just make them look better for a short time.
Old coatings, surface damage, and uneven wear are fully removed using commercial sanding equipment combined with modern dust-controlled extraction. The floor is progressively sanded through finer grits to level the surface, remove sanding marks, and prepare the wood correctly for finishing.
Particular attention is paid to edges, corners, and hard-to-reach areas to ensure the entire floor is sanded evenly. This results in a clean, consistent surface that allows oils or lacquers to bond properly and perform as they should over the long term.

Parquet Floor Restoration Specialists
Parquet floors require a specialist approach, and we regularly carry out parquet floor restoration in Gainsborough for homes with herringbone, mosaic, and block parquet flooring.
Unlike standard plank floors, parquet must be sanded carefully to preserve the pattern, edges, and original character of the floor. We use controlled sanding techniques to remove old finishes evenly while maintaining crisp lines between blocks and avoiding rounding or over-sanding.
Where required, we carry out repairs to loose or damaged blocks before sanding, ensuring the floor is structurally sound before refinishing. Once prepared, the parquet is finished with a suitable oil or lacquer to enhance the grain, protect the surface, and provide long-term durability.

Floor Repairs, Gap Filling & Surface Preparation
A high-quality finish starts with proper preparation. As part of our floor sanding service in Gainsborough, we carry out essential repairs and surface preparation before any finish is applied.
Small gaps, splits, and surface imperfections can be filled using a resin mixed with fine sanding dust from the floor itself, creating a colour-matched fill that blends naturally once sanded back. Loose or damaged boards and parquet blocks are assessed and repaired where possible to ensure the floor is stable and ready for finishing.
Edges and corners are carefully sanded to match the main floor area, preventing uneven wear or visible transitions once the floor is sealed. This preparation stage is critical to achieving a seamless, long-lasting result rather than a quick cosmetic improvement.

Protective Finishes for Wooden Floors
Once sanding and preparation are complete, the floor is finished with a protective coating chosen to suit how the space is used. We offer a range of high-quality finishes for wooden floors in Gainsborough, ensuring both appearance and durability are considered.
Hardwax oils and natural oils enhance the grain and character of the wood while providing a breathable, repair-friendly finish that works particularly well in living spaces and period properties. For higher-traffic areas, lacquers create a durable protective layer on the surface of the floor, with options ranging from natural matt through to more traditional satin or gloss finishes.
For commercial or heavy-use environments, we also offer advanced multi-component lacquers designed to provide increased resistance to wear while maintaining a clean, professional appearance. Each finish is applied carefully to achieve an even, long-lasting result that protects the floor and complements the room.

Frequently Asked Questions – Floor Sanding in Gainsborough
How long does floor sanding take?
Most residential floor sanding projects in Gainsborough take between one and three days, depending on the size of the area, the condition of the floor, and the type of finish being applied. Larger or more complex parquet floors may take longer due to the additional preparation required.
Is floor sanding dusty?
We use modern dust-controlled sanding equipment designed to capture the vast majority of dust during the sanding process. While no sanding process is completely dust-free, disruption is kept to a minimum and the property is left clean and tidy once work is completed.
Can parquet floors be sanded and restored?
Yes. Parquet floors can be sanded and restored provided there is sufficient wear layer remaining and the floor is structurally sound. Parquet requires a specialist approach to preserve the pattern and edges, which is why experience is essential.
What finishes are available after sanding?
After sanding, floors can be finished with hardwax oil, natural oil, or lacquer. Each option offers different benefits in terms of appearance, durability, and maintenance. We will advise on the most suitable finish based on how the space is used and the look you would like to achieve.
Is engineered wood safe to sand?
Engineered wood floors can be sanded, but this depends on the thickness of the wear layer. Floors with a thinner wear layer require a more cautious approach. We always assess the floor before work begins and will only proceed where sanding can be carried out safely.
