How much is wood floor sanding?

Have you got a lovely wood floor, but it’s seen better days?

Heavy foot traffic can do that but worry not. 

I am here to help.

Sometimes all your beautiful wood floor needs are a little love and attention.

So, let’s start by seeing what I will cover for you:

  1. How much is wood floor sanding?
  2. Why we are so expensive when compared to other companies.
  3. What’s better, Oil finish or Lacquer Finish?
  4. Reviews from our beloved customers.
  5. Best Questions to ask and look for in a wood floor restoration company.

And now I shall begin:

1. How much is wood floor sanding?

Many companies do wood floor sanding. I picked ten near me to see how they all price wood floor sanding and finishing.

Out of 10 of them, I couldn’t find prices.

They all do it the same as us. We would receive a call or email requesting a quote and send someone out for a free quotation.

Now I can’t give you a fixed price as there are different things to consider, but I can tell you that we have a minimum charge of £800, including VAT.

The main two options we offer are:

  • Sanding and oil finish.
  • Sanding and Lacquer finish.

There are extra costs for repair or staining needed.

We also work with The Ultimate Floorcare sanding company.

2. Why are we so expensive when compared to other companies.

Yes, we are fully aware we may seem very expensive, but we do come with:

  • Many years of experience.
  • Fully trained Technicians
  • Technicians update their training as and when it is needed.
  • Top of the range equipment.
  • Top of the range products.
  • Because we work with Ultimate Floorcare, you get industry-standard methods.
  • We offer a 100% money-back guarantee if you’re not completely satisfied.

3. What’s better, Oil finish or Lacquer Finish?

The finish on your hardwood floor is an important decision to make.

It also depends on what you’re looking for in your wood floor.

  • Oil finish

Oil has replaced the traditional wax method.

This method tends to give a natural and rich finish. 

Fancy a change in colour? 

The other good thing about oil is that it generally comes in different shades.

It is better for residential and low-traffic areas.

Oil does require much more maintenance than lacquered.

But unlike Lacquer, it is a little easier to fix when damaged.

  • Lacquer Finish

Wood floor lacquer is like a modern version of Varnishing.

If you’re looking for a shine on your wood floor, this is the one.

This one is perfect for a high level of traffic. 

A lacquered floor will need very little maintenance unless it gets damaged.

The oak flooring in our 1930 house was worn, tired and in places badly stained. Craig came to give us a quote, explaining that old stains can’t always be removed. – but that Art of Clean would have a good try. Miracles do happen. A morning of concentrated hard work by Craig – and 90 years have vanished! Our “new” floor is just beautiful – warm rich oak, not a stain in sight – just as it must have been when the house was built. Thank you, Craig and Art of Clean, we love our restored floor.

Art of Clean did a brilliant job restoring our 20 year old oak wooden flooring in the hallway. Defects have disappeared entirely and the grain of the oak has been brought out wonderfully. It is far better than it looked when new with the original finish. Great value service, reliable and attentive to detail. Will use again.

5. Best Questions to ask and look for in a wood floor restoration company.

  • How long has the company been doing this?
  • Are their staff all fully trained?
  • Do their team do regular training updates?
  • Do they offer a 100% money-back guarantee if you’re not satisfied?
