Engineered Solutions by Floor Sanding Specialists London
Engineered boards — composed of real wood veneers bonded to stable plywood — are the top choice for underfloor heating systems common in new-build Southwark apartments. Our floor sanding specialists understand the subtle grain differences and lacquer absorption rates of engineered oak versus solid oak. With precise grit sequencing, we achieve a mirror-smooth surface while protecting the bonded core. Explore certified options such as FSC-certified engineered flooring.
Affordable Pricing & Transparency London
London homeowners are wary of hidden extras. That is why our floor sanding specialists issue fixed quotations that outline every cost line — from floor installation cost for new planks to optional luxury oils. No post-job surprises, no hourly inflation. A 25 m² living room in Ealing typically requires two days’ labour and carries a flat sanding fee of £28 per m². Bulk discounts are available for whole-house projects exceeding 80 m².
Understanding Floor Installation Cost London
If your sub-floor is uneven or damp, sanding alone will not suffice. Our floor sanding specialists may recommend 18 mm plywood floorboards screwed at 300 mm centres before the finish stage. Installing plywood adds roughly £15 per m², but it ensures the final surface remains crack-free for decades. Transparent guidance like this underpins everything we do. For budgeting tips, consult the durable hardwood flooring guide.

Retail & Hospitality Flooring London Success Stories
When a leading Regent Street fashion house needed their century-old parquet reborn before London Fashion Week, our floor sanding specialists completed a 320 m² sanding and staining programme in just 72 hours. The runway-ready mahogany floor drew rave reviews — and the shop reported a 12% uplift in dwell time post-refurbishment.

Choosing Materials: Oak, Parquet & More London
The capital’s diverse architecture demands an equally diverse material palette. Our floor sanding specialists supply and rejuvenate:
- Solid oak flooring — ideal for Chelsea family homes
- Parquet flooring — a favourite in Mayfair galleries
- Engineered herringbone — perfect for East London lofts such as Burghley oak
- Discount wood flooring — budget-friendly for student lets in Camden
Each species and construction type responds differently to sanding pressure and sealants. Trust our experts to match technique to timber. For sustainability credentials, review FSC-approved timber ranges.
Sustainable Sourcing with Floor Sanding Specialists London
All timber supplied by our floor sanding specialists carries FSC or PEFC certification. From French oak harvested in responsibly managed forests to reclaimed teak rescued from decommissioned ships moored along the Thames, we prioritise sustainability without sacrificing style. See how certification works at the Forest Stewardship Council®.
Maintenance Tips from Floor Sanding Specialists London
Even the finest finish needs care. Our floor sanding specialists recommend placing felt pads under furniture legs, using pH-neutral cleaners and scheduling a light buff and re-coat every three years. For at-home upkeep, follow these wood floor maintenance tips.
Seasonal Care Checklist London
Central heating dries air in winter, causing boards to contract. Humid summers can trigger expansion. Our team advises maintaining indoor humidity between 40–60% via a small humidifier or dehumidifier. Follow this golden rule and your newly sanded surface will stay gap-free year-round.
Local Hotspots Highlighted by Floor Sanding Specialists London

- The Design Museum in Kensington for flooring inspiration
- Borough Market’s food stalls — mind the stunning reclaimed pine counters
