Wood Floor Varnishing and Finishing in Swindon

What You'll Pay and How We Quote

Finishing is quoted once we have seen the floor. The price depends on the size of the floor, its condition, whether it needs sanding first and the finish you choose. A floor that only needs a fresh coat is a much smaller job than a full sand and refinish, and we will tell you which yours needs.

We come out to you, measure up, look at what is underneath and give you a free quote before anything is ordered or started. There is no call-out fee for the visit.

What the Work Covers

The finish protects the wood and decides how the floor looks: matt or gloss, natural or rich in colour. On a newly sanded or newly fitted unfinished floor, lacquer goes on in several coats, rubbed down between coats for a smooth result, while oils and hardwax oils usually go on in two thin coats. On a floor that is still in good shape, a fresh coat can sometimes go on without a full sand, which brings it back to life with far less work.

FAQ - Wood Floor Varnishing and Finishing

Lacquer forms a tough sealed layer that is easy to clean. Oil soaks into the wood and gives a more natural look that can be touched up in patches. Hardwax oil sits between the two. The right one depends on how the room is used.

It depends on the product. Lacquer usually needs several coats, rubbed down between each one. Oils and hardwax oils are normally two thin coats.

Sometimes. If the existing finish is sound and only worn on top, it can be cleaned, lightly abraded and recoated. If it is scratched through to bare wood, it needs a full sand first.
