Floor Sanding Services in Rochester, Kent
Correctly cared for, wooden floors can be a source of pride to any homeowner. A staple in older properties in and around Rochester, wooden floors also give modern houses a stylish twist.
Not only does real wood look amazing, it’s also widely regarded as a more desirable flooring option in comparison with laminate or carpet. If you want your home to benefit from floor surfaces that don’t date and which are versatile enough to work well with a range of different decors, wooden flooring is the perfect solution.
Ideal for almost every room in the house, a wooden floor is easy to maintain and can even increase the price of your Rochester property!
Why opt for wooden floor restoration?
With so many advantages, it’s little wonder that wooden flooring is a choice that’s growing in popularity in and around Rochester. Many people love the fact that this type of floor surface is so adaptable, as well as easy to clean – no need for complicated machinery or harsh chemicals – just sweep and mop as required. Generally, wooden flooring is one of the most trouble free surfacing options on the market – it won’t fade or fray like carpet and it’s fairly resistant to scratching and general wear and tear, unlike vinyl or laminate flooring. That said, just like everything else, wooden flooring requires a degree of maintenance to keep it looking its best. That’s where we can help. We offer a complete wood floor restoration service that can absolutely transform the look of your floor.
Common wooden floor problems
The type of problems a wooden floor can present vary enormously, depending on how it was constructed initially and how it has been treated in the past. We find boards that have previously been covered by carpet or similar, can often be covered in paint stains and other marks, as it was envisaged that they wouldn’t be on show.
As the temperature changes in your home, the timber in your floors contracts and expands very slightly. Although not noticeable during day-to-day use, over time the repeated movement can begin to loosen the individual planks, causing uneven surfaces, creaking boards and an uneven appearance. Timely restoration can prevent these issues getting any worse and ensure that the floor remains level and safe to walk on.
Deterioration due to moisture damage is also an issue that we come across regularly. In some cases this may be caused by a chronic water leak that hasn’t been detected, or simply by a single soaking that hasn’t been properly dried. Depending on the length of time the timber has been wet, the boards can be warped or even rotted. These problems can cause instability and a poor appearance; larger areas of affected timber, or boards where this has been a long-standing issue, may have become so weak that complete replacement is needed.
Even if individual boards are in good condition, the gaps between them can significantly impact on the appeal of your floor. Larger gaps not only look unappealing, they can even allow smaller objects to drop through. Smaller gaps may look unsightly, requiring skilled filling to make them look appealing.
Other issues we see can relate to a lack of smoothness (no one wants splinters), staining or engrained dirt that camouflages the intrinsic beauty of the wood.
In all these circumstances and more, our wood floor restoration service can transform your floor into something truly special. We provide a full restoration service, working thoroughly and carefully to return the timber to its former glory.
Floor sanding and many more services
The first step in the restoration process normally involves repairing any damaged timbers; the next step is to fill in gaps, using carefully chosen resins. Following these preparatory activities, we perform a quality floor sanding, smoothing the floor and creating a stain-free, even surface that’s ready for staining and finishing.
The sanding we carry out consists of three phases: an initial sand with a coarser grain to remove grime, stains and other imperfections, followed by the use of medium and fine sanding surfaces.
These smooth the floor beautifully, providing an ideal surface for colour and sealant application. Because our wood floor restoration process is a thorough one, our Rochester clients end up with high-grade, long-lasting results that are beautiful to look at and designed to last.

Quality at a price you can afford
Floor sanding and restoration often takes a while to complete, so it’s inevitably more expensive than a quick fix, cheap ‘n’ cheerful flooring solution. That said, it’s almost always cheaper to restore and renovate in comparison with installing a completely new wooden floor. Many people are delighted by the number of years a well-restored wooden floor can last without further maintenance being required. Often, wooden floors have been in a home for decades; with the right care and treatment you can usually expect them to last decades into the future. A room may require carpet replacement every few years, so in many cases a high-quality restoration is an option that offers excellent value-for-money.
When you entrust your floor sanding or parquet flooring restoration to us, you can be confident of receiving an exceptional service at every level. From a customised restoration plan that takes into account your individual preferences and requirements, through to superior workmanship and the right specialist equipment to do an excellent job, we do everything we can to ensure you end up with the results you deserve. Whether you want to showcase the traditional wooden flooring that’s a beautiful part of your Rochester home, or have a contemporary home that has newer flooring that could do with a makeover, we offer the specialist service and quality work you’re looking for.

Carpet vs. hardwood flooring. Which is best for your home?
The debate on whether carpet or hardwood flooring is better will probably never end. The fact is that both kinds of floor covering have their advantages and disadvantages. Let’s take an inside look at the pros and cons of both types so you can choose the right kind of flooring for your home.
The Pros of Carpeting
Carpets are great at absorbing sound so are worth considering in larger homes where even the smallest sounds carry. They provide natural insulation, allowing family members to walk around barefoot and they can help save on energy costs in winter. Carpeting can be a softer, safer alternative for small children and the elderly as it can prevent bruising caused by slips and falls.
The Pros of Hardwood Flooring
Hardwood flooring is much easier to keep clean as it only requires a minimum amount of vacuuming and is far more resilient against stand and spill damage. Susceptible to dents and scratches, a hardwood floor can be sanded down and completely refinished without having to worry about installing a new floor.
The Cons Of Carpeting
Carpets are very high maintenance and are sometimes difficult to keep clean. Even if you vacuum every single day carpets can never be truly 100% cleaned, and you will have to throw it out eventually. Signs of traffic can become visible quite quickly and allergy sufferers see carpeting as a nightmare since it is the breeding ground for dust mites, fluff, mould, mildew and pollen.
The Cons of Hardwood Flooring
Hardwood flooring is more expensive than carpeting and it can be hard to justify the upfront investment. If you have hardwood flooring in high-traffic areas of your home, you will notice scratches and dents within the first few months of use, although many don’t mind these for the way they give the floor a rich, worn look. Hardwood naturally creeks after installation too, so it might not be the quietest option.
Conclusion
Both hardwood flooring and carpets offer versatility and design options that provide an endless array of styles. The initial costs of installing hardwood might be off-putting, but whereas carpets have to be changed every 4 to 5 years, with the proper care and professional sanding, a hardwood floor can last a lifetime.
