Floor Sanding FAQs
▼
Q: How much does wood floor sanding cost in London?
A: Professional floor sanding in London typically costs £12-20/m² for sanding only, or £19-27/m² including finish application. Final cost depends on floor size, condition, and finish type (lacquer/oil).

A: Yes! Our Bona and Lägler sanding equipment captures 99% of dust during the floor sanding process. We use professional extraction systems connected to each sander for clean, dust-free floor restoration.
▼
Q: Can you sand Victorian pine floorboards?
A: Absolutely. Victorian and Georgian pine floor sanding is one of our specialities. We’ve restored hundreds of period property floors across London, including gap filling and traditional oil finishes.
▼
Q: How long does floor sanding take?
A: Most residential floor sanding projects take 2-5 days depending on area size. Small room (15m²): 1-2 days. Large open plan (60m²): 3-5 days including sanding, finishing, and drying time.
▼
Q: What areas do you cover for floor sanding?
A: We provide wood floor sanding services across all Greater London boroughs and the Home Counties including Essex, Kent, Surrey, and Hertfordshire. Same-day quotes available.
▼
Q: Can you sand parquet flooring?
A: Yes, parquet floor sanding is one of our specialisations. We work with all parquet patterns, including herringbone, chevron, and basketweave. Our experienced craftsmen understand the specific techniques required for parquet restoration.
▼
Q: What finishes do you offer for floor sanding?
A: We offer three main finish types: Bona Traffic HD lacquer (most durable, ideal for high-traffic), Osmo Hardwax Oil (natural look, easy maintenance), and Junckers HP (commercial-grade). We’ll recommend the best option for your specific floor and usage.
▼
Q: Can you remove gaps between floorboards?
A: Yes, gap filling is an essential part of floor restoration. We offer two methods: pine slivers (traditional, allows for seasonal movement) or resin/sawdust mix (seamless appearance). Cost is £8-12 per linear meter.
Floor Installation FAQs
▼
Q: How much does wood floor installation cost in London?
A: Professional wood floor installation costs vary by floor type:
- Engineered wood: £20-35/m² (supply & fit)
- Solid wood: £25-40/m² (supply & fit)
- Parquet installation: £33-50/m² (supply & fit)
Prices include subfloor preparation, installation, and finishing.
▼
Q: Can you install engineered flooring with underfloor heating?
A: Yes! Engineered wood floor installation is perfect for underfloor heating systems. We install compatible engineered flooring using floating or glued methods depending on your heating system type.
▼
Q: Do you supply the wood flooring or just install it?
A: We offer both options. Step Flooring can supply and install premium engineered, solid wood, and parquet flooring from leading European manufacturers. Or we can install your supplied materials.
▼
Q: How long does floor installation take?
A: Wood floor installation timelines vary by project:
- Small room engineered installation: 1-2 days
- Large open plan solid wood: 4-6 days
- Intricate parquet patterns: 5-8 days
Includes subfloor prep, installation, and finishing.
▼
Q: What’s better – solid wood or engineered flooring?
A: Depends on your needs:
- Solid wood: Can be sanded multiple times, traditional, long-lasting
- Engineered: Better with underfloor heating, more stable, quicker installation
Both look beautiful when professionally installed. We can advise during your free consultation.
▼
Q: What subfloor preparation is needed for installation?
A: Subfloor must be clean, level, dry, and structurally sound. We assess moisture levels, apply DPM (damp proof membrane) if needed, level with latex compound if required, and ensure proper substrate for your chosen flooring type.
▼
Q: Can you install parquet in a herringbone pattern?
A: Yes, herringbone parquet installation is one of our specialities. We also install chevron, basketweave, and custom patterns. Herringbone requires precision cutting and fitting – our experienced craftsmen ensure perfect alignment.
▼
Q: Do you remove old flooring before installation?
A: Yes, we offer complete flooring removal services. This includes carpet, laminate, old wood floors, vinyl, and tiles. Removal is charged separately at £3-5/m² depending on flooring type and disposal requirements.
General FAQs
▼
Q: Can you do floor sanding and installation together?
A: Yes! We often work on projects that combine both services – for example, sanding existing floors in one room while installing new flooring in an extension. This is efficient and ensures consistent quality throughout your property.
▼
Q: Do you work weekends and evenings?
A: Yes, both floor sanding and installation services are available weekends and evenings at no extra charge for domestic projects. This is ideal for minimising disruption to your daily routine.

Hardwood flooring is often seen as classic and timeless. It can add character and value to your property, while creating a beautiful atmosphere. When you think of wood flooring, you probably imagine the typical golden Oak floor. There are so many more choices which can complement any modern or traditional style of home, make a statement or blend in subtly with your décor.
