Iroko Parquet Floor Sanding & Restoration in Scunthorpe

This iroko parquet floor in Scunthorpe had become worn, dull and scratched over time. Like many older parquet floors, it still had plenty of life left in it — it just needed the right process to bring it back properly.

Instead of replacing the floor, a full sanding and restoration was carried out to restore the natural colour and protect it for years to come.

🟡 The Floor Before Restoration

The original parquet blocks were structurally sound, but the surface had:

• Heavy wear and surface scratches

• A dull, tired appearance

• Areas of uneven finish from previous use

This is typical of iroko parquet floors that haven’t been maintained properly over time.

🔵 Sanding & Restoration Process

The floor was carefully sanded using a professional dust-controlled system to remove the old finish and level the surface without damaging the parquet pattern.

The process included:

• Full multi-stage sanding to refine the surface

• Detailed edge and corner sanding

• Careful preparation to keep the parquet blocks flat and even

This stage is key — done properly, it brings the floor back without over-sanding or damaging the wood.

🟣 Finishing the Iroko Parquet

Once sanded, the floor was finished with a professional-grade system designed to enhance the natural tones of iroko while providing long-term protection.

Iroko parquet is known for its rich colour variation, and the right finish helps bring out that depth without making it look artificial or over-coated.

🟠 The Final Result

The restored floor now has:

• A clean, smooth surface

• Natural colour variation brought back through the wood

• A durable hardwax finish designed to handle everyday use

This is a great example of how parquet floors can be restored rather than replaced when the correct process is used.
