We specialise in dust‑free floor sanding and professional floor refinishing for homes and commercial properties. Where floors require repairs or preparation beforehand, we also carry out expert wood floor restoration as part of the process.

Dust‑Free Sanding Systems

Modern Solutions To Improve The Sanding Process

We use modern, dust‑controlled sanding equipment fitted with H‑class filtration systems, designed to capture fine airborne particles during sanding. This significantly reduces dust transfer, helping to keep your space cleaner throughout the process.

Cleaner Finish & Better Air Quality

Health, Safety & Quality Assured

Controlling dust is not just about cleanliness & the health and safety of homewners & operators — it also improves the final result. Reduced airborne dust helps prevent debris becoming trapped between coats, allowing finishes to bond and cure properly.

Yo can also count on us to help remove and replace furniture where neccessary to help provide you with a seamless experience. However this service does come with a modest fee

Floor Sanding Prices – What to Expect

The cost of floor sanding depends on the size, condition and finish of the floor. As a general guide, most professional floor sanding and refinishing projects fall within the ranges below.

 

Typical Floor Sanding Costs (Per m²)

 

Standard wooden floor sanding and refinishing:
£30 – £45 per m²
This includes a full sanding process and finishing system.

 

Parquet floor sanding:
£35 – £50 per m²
Patterned floors require angled sanding, additional preparation and more time.

For a more detailed breakdown of parquet floor sanding costs and what affects them, see our dedicated parquet floor sanding page.

 

Engineered wood floor sanding:
Assessed individually
Pricing depends on veneer thickness, floor construction and overall condition.

These figures reflect professional sanding carried out to a high standard using dust‑controlled equipment and a full finishing system, rather than sanding‑only work.

 

What’s Included in Our Floor Sanding Service

 

Our pricing is based on a complete restoration system, not just sanding the surface.

 

A typical project includes:

  • Multi‑stage professional sanding
  • Detailed edging and corner work
  • Minor preparation and fine filling
  • A 3‑coat lacquer system as standard
  • Dust‑controlled sanding equipment

 

This approach ensures a durable, even finish that lasts, rather than a short‑term cosmetic improvement.

 

Sanding Only vs Full Sanding & Refinishing

 

Some quotes appear cheaper because they exclude preparation or finishing.

As a general comparison:

 

Sanding only (no finishing):
£20 – £30 per m²

 

Sanding plus 3‑coat lacquer (most common):
£30 – £45 per m²

 

Premium finishes such as oils or specialist systems:
£35 – £50+ per m²

 

We focus on complete, long‑lasting results rather than sanding‑only work.

 

 

Stair Sanding Costs

 

Stairs are priced separately due to the labour‑intensive detailing involved.

 

Standard stair sanding:
£40 – £70 per step

Typical staircase (12–14 steps):
£480 – £900

Painted, damaged or complex stairs:
£70 – £100+ per step

 

Pricing depends on condition, access and previous coatings.

 

Optional Finishes & Upgrades

 

Included as standard:
3‑coat professional lacquer system

Optional upgrades include:

 

Hardwax oil finish:

  • £3 – £8 per m²
    Natural, matt appearance.

 

Wood staining (colour change):

  • £8 – £15 per m²

Whitewashing or liming effects:

  • £10 – £20 per m²

Additional protective coats:

  • £2 – £5 per m² per coat

 

Minimum Project Cost

 

Due to setup time, specialist machinery and labour, a minimum project value applies.

Minimum project cost:
£400 – £600

This allows every job to be completed properly without cutting corners.

 

What Affects the Final Price?

 

Final costs depend on factors such as:

 

  • Floor condition and level of wear
  • Repairs required, including loose boards, gaps or damaged blocks
  • Floor type (boards, parquet or engineered flooring)
  • Finish choice and number of coats
  • Room layout and access

 

All prices are provided as a general guide. Final costs are confirmed following inspection, as every floor differs in condition, construction and preparation requirements.

Types Of Floors We Sand & Different Considerations

No two wooden floors behave in exactly the same way — even when they appear to be the same species. Each plank has its own grain structure, density, and proportion of heartwood and sapwood, which affects how it responds to sanding, finishing, and changes in the environment.

 

This natural variation is why two boards laid side by side can absorb stain differently or reflect light unevenly once finished. It’s also why some colour variation is part of the character of a real timber floor rather than a defect.

 

Wood is a natural material and will always expand and contract slightly with changes in temperature and humidity. Older properties and traditional floors may show seasonal gaps or minor movement, which is normal and expected.

 

This is why every floor should be assessed individually before sanding begins. Floor construction, subfloor condition, previous sanding history, moisture levels, and wear layer thickness (for engineered floors) all influence what is safe and realistic to achieve.
