Wood Floor Restoration
Restore. Revive. Impress.
Wood flooring is a beautiful addition to any interior, but to maintain its appearance, it is essential that correct maintenance is introduced following installation. Like a carpet, once the appearance of wood starts to look worn, then it is usually too late for normal maintenance procedures to be applied and a full restoration involving sanding and reapplication of the protective coating is required.
At MDS, we offer expert wood floor restoration services tailored specifically for commercial and B2B clients. Whether you're managing a corporate office, retail space, or hospitality venue, we bring tired wood floors back to life - enhancing your space’s appearance, safety, and value.
We use the latest rotary sanding machinery attached to high-filtration vacuums, ensuring an almost dust-free environment and allowing for same-day use in most cases. Depending on whether a high gloss, textured, or matt finish is required, we can discuss the best protective coating to be applied.
Our Wood Floor Restoration Process
All work can be completed out of hours to cause minimum disruption to the working day.
Assessment & Consultation
We conduct an on-site visit to assess the floor and understand your requirements and desired finish.
01
Preparation & Sanding
Surrounding areas are protected before sanding the floor using an orbital sanding machine to remove the top layer.
02
Fine Sanding & Repair
The process is repeated using finer and finer discs for a truly smooth finish, fully repairing damaged areas at each stage.
03
Textured Finish (optional)
Using specialist tools, we can provide a textured finish to enhance the characteristics of solid or engineered hardwood floors.
04
Prime & Seal
Once the desired appearance has been achieved, the floor is primed and sealed to give a tough and durable finish.
05
Curing
The floor must cure for up to 8 hours, or for a quicker result, we can use our UV curing machines for floors that can be walked on immediately.

Preparation & Sanding
One of the most critical steps in restoration is sanding. This involves using a series of progressively finer sandpaper to remove the old finish and surface imperfections. Sanding helps to level the floor and reveal the fresh wood underneath. It is a delicate process that requires skill to avoid over-sanding, which can thin the wood excessively.
Repair & Refinishing
There are various options for finishes, including polyurethane, oil-based, and water-based finishes. Each type offers different benefits in terms of durability, appearance, and maintenance. The finish helps to protect the wood from future damage and wear, ensuring that the restored floor remains beautiful for years to come.
Post Restoration Maintenance
Once the initial restoration is complete, we recommend a maintenance program to preserve the floors' high-quality finish. We continue to work closely with many of our clients, offering efficient and cost-effective maintenance support programs.

Before
After
The floor was sanded with ceramic 80-grit sandpaper and then brushed with steel brushes to restore the textured antique appearance. To protect the wood from further soil and staining, it was decided to apply the Recoat UV floor covering. This would enable the floor to be fully protected, provide excellent slip resistance in the wet, and not compromise the original appearance.
The work was carried out at night, meaning minimal disruption to our client. As the UV coating cures instantly, the floor was handed over for immediate use upon completion. Following the very successful test, instructions were given to sand and seal the whole of the reception area.
