FAQs
Can wooden stairs be sanded and restored like floors?
Yes — wooden stairs can be sanded and restored just like floors, though the process is more detailed due to edges and corners. We carefully strip old finishes, sand each tread by hand or with small machines, and refinish for a smooth, durable result.
How long does stair sanding and restoration take?
Most staircases in London homes take two to three days, depending on size and condition. We’ll confirm an exact schedule after inspecting your stairs so you can plan around the work.
Is sanding stairs very dusty or messy?
Not with our process. We use 98% dust-free sanding systems and sealed work areas to keep your home clean. You may notice a faint trace of fine dust, but it’s minimal — and we always leave your space tidy once complete.
Can you restore painted or carpeted stairs?
Absolutely. We strip away old paint, adhesives, or carpet glue to reveal the natural wood underneath. Once the surface is clean and even, we sand and finish it to your preferred look — whether natural, stained, or sealed.
What types of finishes do you recommend for staircases?
Durable finishes like hard wax oil or water-based sealant are best for stairs, as they handle heavy foot traffic while keeping the wood’s natural look. You can browse real examples in our Gallery.
Can you match the staircase finish to my floors?
Yes — we can match or closely coordinate your staircase finish with your existing floors. Whether it’s a modern oak tone or a traditional dark polish, our team ensures a seamless look throughout your home.
Can you sand staircases in period or listed London properties?
Yes — we regularly restore staircases in heritage homes across London. Our gentle sanding and stripping methods protect the original wood while giving it new life. You can book a consultation to discuss your property’s staircase restoration needs.
We provide virtually dust-free sanding with our continuous belt machinery with mobile extraction units, giving you a safer environment for your family.
This organic finish not only adds beauty to your home but also has exceptional water-repellent characteristics, making it easier to clean and maintain.
We offer a full assessment of your wooden floors to determine what repairs are needed to provide the perfect working surface for the later stages of sanding, staining and sealing.
