Introduction
Whether you found yours hidden under a carpet or you chose a house based on this one special feature, having wooden floors in your home comes with many benefits.
Timeless beauty aside, wooden floors are easy to clean, won’t trap smells like carpets and can even add to the value of your home. However, like any flooring, wooden floors have to put up with the wear and tear of daily life. Scratches, scuffs, dents and dings can all conspire to see your floor looking past its best.

Why should I sand my floors?
Having your floors sanded can uncover other problems that might be costing you money.
Gaps between floorboards can cause ‘cold spots’ in a home, meaning you spend more on your heating bills.
In addition, there are health and hygiene benefits to having wooden floors, rather than carpets.

Wherever possible, we source reclaimed hardwood boards and parquet tiles and use certified, organic waxes and oils to make your floors look their best.
We work with nature, rather than against it.

Our Before & After Images
Choosing the right floor sanding machine for the job
Sanding wood floors not only restores their beauty, but can save them from further damage too. Once your floor gets scratched it’s easy for dirt to accumulate and make the damage even worse. You need to fix the situation and fast, which is why you may be considering hiring floor sanding machines to do the job yourself.
What kind of wood flooring do I have?
The first step to hiring the right equipment is to determine what kind of wood flooring you have. If you’ve just moved home, or decided to rip up old carpets, it can be difficult to know what kind of flooring you have and whether it will respond well to sanding.
- Engineered wood floors may not stand up to sanding at all depending on the depth of the wear layer. You can spot an engineered wood floor by the microbevel or indent where the pieces of flooring join.
- Solid wood tongue and groove flooring can be found in period properties. These boards are designed to stand up to floor sanding and finishing many times over.
Why type of floor sanding machines will I need?
The quickest results can be achieved by using a drum or belt sander and a smaller orbital sander for edging. Larger orbital sanders and buffers can also give good effects on soft woods like pine but don’t have the heft to deal with hardwood floors like oak. Orbital sanders are prone to leaving sanding marks on your floor which can become apparent when you come to stain it, which is why dust free floor sanding with a belt sander is the preferred option for all types of wooden floorboards.
Tips and tricks for even sanding
- Make sure that the rear wheels are tightened and that all the wheels spin freely
- Check the drum rubber to make sure it’s providing a sufficient cushioning surface
- Check that the belt travels evenly and always release the tension when you stop sanding and store clear of the floor
- Take care installing the sandpaper so it is applied evenly across the drum, using new sandpaper every time
Choose the right equipment for the job and follow these simple tips and your wood flooring repair will add new life to your floors.
