When to Sand
Signs your floor needs a sand
A sand takes the floor back to fresh timber and gets rid of the damage a clean can’t reach.
01
Grey, dry or patchy
The finish has worn through in walkways and doorways, and the wood underneath has gone grey and dull.
02
Scratches and dents
Furniture, pets and heels have marked the surface deeper than cleaning or polishing can fix.
03
Peeling or orange varnish
An old varnish or sealer is flaking, cracking or has turned yellow and orange with age.
04
Stains and water marks
Marks have soaked into the finish. Many sand out; deep black water stains can mean a board needs replacing.
Dustless Sanding
Sanded clean, not dusty
Every sander we use is connected to a Festool extraction unit, so the dust goes into the vacuum instead of into your cupboards, curtains and lungs.
Before we start, the team masks off and protects the areas around the work, and we wear non-marking shoes inside your home.

How It Works
From tired to finished
Every step is planned around a clean site and a finish that lasts.
01
Assessment
We visit at a time that suits you, measure up, check the floor and talk through finishes and tints. You get a detailed, no-obligation quote by email with fully transparent pricing, and we book dates that suit you.
02
Preparation
We protect and mask off the areas around the work. Loose or damaged boards are fixed first, so the sand gives you a flat, solid floor.
03
Sanding
We sand in stages from a coarse grit to a fine one, taking the floor back to clean timber, then do the edges and corners. All of it with dust extraction connected to the sanders.
04
Finishing
The finish is Osmo, applied by hand by our Osmo-trained team with the right applicators, pads, rollers and brushes for the surface, to an even, European-standard finish.
05
Quality Check
Once the finish has cured, we come back to check the whole job with you, and leave you a maintenance plan: we can supply the right products or look after the floor for you.
The Finish
Finished by hand with Osmo
Osmo is a hardwax oil. It soaks into the wood instead of sitting on top like a plastic varnish, so the floor still looks and feels like timber.
Worn areas can be refreshed later without sanding the whole floor again. At the assessment we’ll show you the options: a natural look, a raw finish that keeps the light, freshly-sanded colour, or a tint.
The Osmo products we use are sold at Makers Base

Questions
Floor sanding questions
How long does floor sanding take?
It depends on the size of the floor, how much repair it needs and the finish. A standard room of about 30 m² is usually sanded and finished in a day. We give you the timing with your quote.
Is it really dustless?
Yes. Every sander is connected to a Festool extraction unit, which keeps your space clean and disruption to a minimum.
Can engineered wood floors be sanded?
Usually, yes, if the real-wood top layer is thick enough. We check it at the assessment before we recommend a sand.
When can we walk on the floor again?
With Osmo Polyx-Oil, you can walk on it in clean socks after 24 hours, bring furniture back after 24 to 48 hours (with felt pads), and put rugs down after 2 to 3 weeks. Temperature and humidity can change this.
Do we need to move out?
No. Our sanding is dustless, so you can stay at home while we work.
Can you fix damaged boards at the same time?
Yes. Loose, broken and water-damaged boards are fixed before we sand. See wood floor repairs.
Do you sand commercial floors?
Yes: offices, restaurants and cafés, hotels, shops and showrooms, bars and venues. We schedule the work around your business hours.
