Our Comprehensive Wood Floor Services

At Mr Sander®, we offer a complete suite of timber restoration services tailored to meet the architectural demands of Kent properties.

Wood Floor Sanding

Our wood floor sanding process carefully removes the dull, scratched top layer of your floorboards, exposing the pristine wood underneath. The result is a flawlessly smooth surface, perfectly prepped to absorb premium oils, hard-wearing lacquers, or custom stains.

Residential Floor Restoration

Our residential services are ideal for homeowners seeking to modernise their living spaces or restore period features. From uncovering original Victorian pine boards to refreshing modern engineered oak, we deliver a beautiful, uniform finish that instantly elevates your home’s interior.

Commercial Floor Refinishing

Impress clients and handle high foot traffic with our commercial floor refinishing. We service primary schools, colleges, offices, restaurants, and hotels across the county. For commercial spaces, we utilise heavy-duty, 2K commercial-grade lacquers to ensure maximum durability, working efficiently to minimise operational downtime.

Stairs Sanding and Stripping

Staircases endure intense daily wear. Our stairs sanding and refinishing service painstakingly strips old paint and varnish from both flats and risers, creating a stunning, safe focal point in your hallway.

Wood Floor Repairs & Board Replacement

Before any sanding begins, structural integrity is key. Our repair services cover everything from buffing out deep scratches and fixing dipping floors, to complete hearth re-stitching and linear meter board replacements. We meticulously source reclaimed timber to ensure repaired areas blend seamlessly with the original floor.

Parquet Floor Sanding and Restoration

Classic patterns require specialist care. Our parquet restoration service secures loose blocks, carefully sands the multi-directional grain without cross-scratching, and applies premium finishes to revive the timeless elegance of the wood.

Specialist Gap Filling

Older floors naturally develop gaps due to seasonal expansion and contraction, leading to cold draughts. We offer two primary gap-filling methods: resin mixed with sanding dust for finer gaps, and reclaimed pine slivers adhered with PVA for wider gaps. Slivers provide a traditional, uniform appearance that adds character while drastically improving room insulation.

Wood Floor Maintenance

Protect your newly finished floors with our maintenance services. From deep cleaning and polishing to top-up oiling, regular professional care prevents the need for full re-sanding in the future.

Why Hire a Professional vs. DIY Sanding?

Thinking about renting a machine and tackling your floorboards over the weekend? Here’s why hiring an expert team is usually the smarter, more cost-effective choice:

• Flawless Quality: Professional sanding prevents the deep gouges, chatter marks, and uneven stains frequently caused by inexperienced handling of heavy drum sanders.
• Advanced Equipment: We use state-of-the-art machines like the PALLMANN SPIDER, ensuring virtually 100% dust-free extraction to protect your lungs and keep your home clean.
• Expert Prep Work: We properly handle tough obstacles like removing stubborn carpet glue and securing loose or dipping floorboards before we even start sanding.
• Proper Gap Filling: DIY gap filling often cracks and falls out within months. We use reclaimed pine slivers and industrial resins designed to flex with the timber.
• Guaranteed Results: When you hire Mr Sander®, you’re covered by full liability insurance and comprehensive aftercare warranties.

• Decades of Expertise: 25+ years of experience restoring everything from modern engineered oak to 100-year-old Victorian pine.
• Local Knowledge: We operate extensively across the South East and understand the specific architectural quirks of regional properties.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the floor sanding process take?
The duration depends on the scope of the project. A single 20m² room might take 1 to 2 days, whereas restoring a large 250m²+ commercial college hall can take 4 to 7 days. Contact us for a free, personalised timeline.

Can you repair damaged or rotten floorboards before sanding?
Yes. We frequently conduct structural repairs before sanding. For instance, if you have broken Victorian pine boards or need a hearth re-stitched, we can source and install reclaimed linear meters of matching timber to ensure the floor is structurally sound and aesthetically cohesive.

What is the difference between resin gap filling and pine slivers?
Resin mixed with sanding dust is ideal for very fine, hairline gaps as it matches the exact color of your floor. For larger, more noticeable gaps (common in older pine floors), we use reclaimed pine slivers glued with PVA. Slivers offer superior durability, won’t crack or fall out easily, and maintain the traditional character of the floor while stopping cold draughts.

Is the wood floor sanding process dusty?
Not with Mr Sander®. We use advanced 95-100% dust-free sanding equipment featuring high-powered HEPA vacuums. This extracts the dust at the source, keeping your home clean and safe. Once finished, we thoroughly tidy the area.

How do I maintain my wood floors after they are refinished?
To keep your floors looking pristine, apply felt protective pads under all furniture legs. Sweep or vacuum regularly using a soft brush attachment to remove abrasive grit. Avoid soaking the wood; instead, clean with a well-wrung, slightly damp mop using a pH-neutral wood floor cleaner. We can advise on specific products based on the hardwax oil or lacquer finish you choose.
