Suitable floors
Which Floors Can Be Sanded?
Solid pine, hardwood and parquet floors are commonly suitable. Engineered wood requires a sufficient real-wood wear layer and must be assessed carefully.
- Original pine floorboards
- Solid oak and hardwood boards
- Parquet and herringbone blocks
- Suitable engineered wood flooring
- Previously lacquered or oiled timber floors
Laminate cannot be sanded because its visible surface is not a sandable layer of solid timber.

What Affects a Floor Sanding Estimate?
Floor area is only part of the price. Send photographs and measurements so we can assess the work your floor actually needs.
Condition and repairs
Loose boards, damaged blocks, deep staining and old coatings can change the preparation required. We assess repairs and suitable gap filling before confirming the scope.
Your chosen finish
Natural lacquer, oil and colour treatments have different preparation and application requirements. We discuss the appearance and protection you want before quoting.
Access and room preparation
Furniture, carpet removal, stairs and parking affect the work involved. Tell us about access and any items that need moving so they can be included where practical.

Honest answers
Floor Sanding FAQs
How long does floor sanding take?
Timescale depends on floor area, repairs, filling, stain requirements and the finishing system. A single straightforward room may take one to two working days, while larger multi-room projects take longer.
When can the floor be walked on?
This depends on the product used and environmental conditions. We provide the correct re-entry and furniture guidance for the selected finish.
Do gaps always need filling?
No. Movement, board construction and gap size must be considered. Resin filling and timber slivers are useful in the right situation, but unsuitable filling can fail.
Will sanding remove every stain or mark?
Not always. Deep contamination, historic repairs and colour variation may remain. We explain realistic expectations before finishing.
