What does wooden floor restoration involve?

Wooden floor restoration is all about bringing your tired, worn-out floorboards back to life. Over time, even the most beautiful wooden floors can lose their shine — thanks to scratches, scuffs, fading, or water damage. That’s where restoration comes in.

A tradesperson who restores floors will typically:

• Sand away the old finish to smooth out surface marks

• Fill gaps or cracks where needed

• Re-stain or re-oil the wood to revive its natural colour

• Apply a protective seal to help it last for years

It’s not just a quick tidy-up, but a full refresh that keeps the character of your floor, while making it look (and feel) good as new.

What kind of repairs can wood floor restoration help with?

Restoration can tackle all sorts of common issues with wooden floors, including:

• Surface scratches and dents from heavy furniture or foot traffic

• Worn or faded patches caused by sunlight or cleaning products

• Gaps and cracks between boards that let in draughts or dirt

• Cupping or warping caused by moisture

• Stains and discolouration, especially near doors or radiators

Not every floor needs a full rip-out and replacement. A well-executed restoration can fix cosmetic damage and make your space feel fresh again — without the faff or the cost of brand-new flooring.

Can you restore parquet floors?

Yes — and when it’s done well, it’s worth every penny. Parquet flooring is known for its intricate patterns and timeless charm, but it can be tricky to restore without the right tools or know-how.

A skilled tradesperson will carefully sand the surface, taking care not to damage the grain or loosen the blocks. They’ll then refinish it using oils or lacquers that enhance the wood’s tone and protect it from wear.

Whether it’s a classic herringbone in the hallway or a basket weave in the lounge, parquet floors can be restored to their former glory with the right care.

How long does a wooden floor restoration take?

That depends on the size of the room and the condition of the floor — but here’s a rough guide:

• Small rooms (such as bedrooms): 1–2 days

• Medium rooms (such as lounges): 2–3 days

• Large or open-plan spaces: 3–5 days

This includes time for sanding, staining, sealing, and drying between coats. It’s worth asking your tradesperson for a clear timeline upfront, especially if you’ll need to move furniture or avoid the room for a few days.

How often should you refurbish wooden floors?

There’s no set rule, but most wooden floors benefit from a full restoration every 7 to 10 years — or sooner if they’re in a high-traffic area.

That said, regular cleaning, the odd top-up of oil or polish, and some simple habits (like using rugs and soft furniture pads) can help stretch out the time between full refurbishments.

If your floor’s starting to look dull, feel rough underfoot, or show signs of deeper damage, it might be time for a professional refresh.

How much does wood floor restoration cost?

According to our figures, the average cost for this task is £42 per m² for sanding and refinishing.

The exact price you pay will depend on a number of factors, such as what type of wooden floor you have, the size of the floor space, and exactly what types of restoration it needs.
