Dull, scratched or tired engineered wood floor? Our London specialists sand, repair and refinish engineered oak and hardwood floors — restoring a flawless, hard-wearing finish.
Engineered wood is one of the most popular floors in London homes — a genuine hardwood top layer bonded to a stable core that copes well with underfloor heating and changing humidity. But that surface still lives a hard life: scratches, dents, sun-fading and worn finishes are all normal over the years. The good news is that engineered boards can be sanded back and refinished much like solid wood, as long as it’s done by someone who understands the wear layer. That’s exactly what we do — carefully bringing engineered floors back to a smooth, even, freshly-sealed finish.

London’s engineered wood floor specialists
Engineered wood needs a lighter touch than solid timber. Because the real-wood top layer sits over a plywood or HDF core, there’s a limited thickness to work with — sand too aggressively and you cut through the veneer. We check the wear layer before we start, choose the right grit sequence, and sand progressively so your floor comes up smooth and even without ever risking the surface. Over twenty years we’ve refinished engineered floors of every kind across London, including:

Re-oiling, lacquering and colour — the right finish for your floor
- Hardwax Oils – Ideal for engineered oak, oil soaks into the wear layer to enrich the grain and give a natural, low-sheen look that’s easy to patch-repair in future.
- Lacquer Finishes – A tough, wipe-clean seal in matt, satin or gloss — perfect for busy hallways, kitchens and commercial spaces.
- Staining & Colour – From pale Scandinavian tones to rich, dark browns, we can re-colour your engineered floor to suit a new interior.
What to expect from your engineered floor restoration
- First, we visit your property free of charge, measure up and — crucially for engineered wood — check the thickness of the wear layer to confirm the floor can be sanded and how many times it has been done before.
- Second, you receive a clear written quote covering any repairs, sanding, staining and sealing, based on the size and condition of the floor. Competitive, transparent pricing with no surprises.
- Third, before we arrive the room should be cleared of furniture and anything dust-sensitive such as curtains or rugs. Our sanders extract nearly all dust, but a little is unavoidable — and sanding is noisy, so it’s worth warning the neighbours. We can lift and remove old carpet for a small charge (from £35 per room).
- Fourth, we carry out any board repairs, then sand progressively through the grits, taking only what the wear layer allows for a flat, even surface.
- Fifth, we apply your chosen oil or lacquer, and walk you through how to look after it. Most engineered floors can be walked on the same evening and furnished within a day or two.
