Our Dust-Free Sanding Process

Parquet floor sanding - before

One of the main concerns clients have about floor sanding is the mess it can create. That’s why we use advanced dust-free sanding technology that captures up to 98% of airborne particles during the sanding process. Our powerful extraction systems ensure your home or business remains clean and safe while we restore your parquet flooring.

This method not only protects your furniture and indoor air quality, but it also results in a smoother, more professional finish. Whether you're renovating a home or preparing a commercial space, our dust-free parquet sanding service provides outstanding results without the disruption of traditional methods.

Parquet Floor Staining & Sealing Options

Once your parquet floor has been sanded to a smooth, clean surface, choosing the right finish is essential to protect the wood and enhance its appearance. We offer a range of staining and sealing options to suit both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Our floor staining services allow you to change or enrich the tone of your floor, whether you prefer a natural oak look, a deep walnut shade, or a light Scandinavian finish. For sealing, we use premium lacquers, oils, and hardwax products that provide long-lasting protection and easy maintenance. Our team will help you select the right finish based on your lifestyle, aesthetic preferences, and the level of foot traffic in your space.

What to Expect During Your Floor Restoration

Parquet floor sanding - during

We believe in keeping our clients fully informed at every stage of the restoration process. From your initial consultation to the final coat of sealant, our goal is to make the experience as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Our process begins with a detailed on-site assessment to check the condition of your parquet flooring. We then carry out sanding in multiple stages, ensuring all old coatings, scratches, and uneven areas are removed. Edges and corners are treated with specialised equipment for a consistent finish throughout. Once the surface is perfectly prepared, we apply your chosen stain and sealant.

After the final finish is applied, we’ll advise you on drying times, when you can move furniture back in, and how to care for your newly restored floor. With our efficient workflow and expert techniques, your parquet floor will be revitalised with minimal disruption.

Frequently Asked Questions About Parquet Floor Sanding

Is it safe to sand an old parquet floor without damaging the pattern?

Yes — with professional equipment and the right techniques, sanding will not damage the pattern. We use multi-directional sanding methods to preserve the integrity of the blocks while restoring a smooth, even surface.

Do you replace or repair loose parquet blocks during sanding?

Parquet floor sanding - after

Absolutely. Before sanding begins, we secure any loose blocks by cleaning off old adhesive and re-bonding them in place. This ensures the entire floor is stable and ready for finishing.

My parquet has gaps – will you fill them as part of the restoration?

Yes — gap filling is included as part of parquet restoration. We use resin mixed with fine dust from your floor for small gaps, and matching wood slivers for larger spaces, so the repair blends perfectly.

What finish is best for parquet floors – oil or lacquer?

Both finishes work well on parquet. Hardwax oil enhances the natural colour and texture of the wood, while lacquer provides a more durable, low-maintenance surface. We can recommend the best option based on your floor’s use and desired appearance.

Can you sand mosaic or panel parquet as well as herringbone?

Yes — we work with all parquet patterns, including herringbone, chevron, basket weave, and mosaic panels. Each pattern is handled with care to maintain its original style and beauty.
