Over time, wooden floors can lose their finish and show signs of wear, scratches and dull patches. Professional sanding and finishing restores a more even appearance and helps protect the surface from future damage. Some floors may only require deep cleaning and oiling rather than full sanding. We offer careful wood floor restoration throughout Cambridge and the surrounding region.
Our technicians inspect the floor before any work begins so the right method can be selected. Depending on its condition, the floor may be sanded back to a smooth surface or carefully cleaned and refinished. Professional equipment is used to achieve an even result with minimal dust. A protective finish is then applied to help maintain the appearance of the wood.
1. Floor inspection and preparation
We check the condition of the boards, secure any loose sections and ensure nails are set below the surface.
2. High-filtration vacuum
Dust and debris are removed to prevent damage during the sanding process.
3. Main floor sanding
Professional sanding equipment smooths the main floor area and removes the worn surface.
4. Edge and detail sanding
Edges and hard-to-reach areas are carefully sanded for a consistent finish.
5. Final rotary sanding
A fine sanding stage evens out the surface and prepares it for finishing.
6. Fine dust removal
The floor is thoroughly vacuumed to remove any remaining dust.
7. Protective finish
A suitable lacquer or oil is applied to protect the wood and enhance its appearance.

An oil finish is a popular choice for wooden floors as it enhances the natural grain while providing lasting protection. It soaks into the wood rather than sitting on the surface, helping the floor look more natural and feel warmer underfoot.
This type of finish is easy to maintain and can be refreshed over time without the need for full sanding, making it a practical option for busy homes.
