Floor sanding & wood floor restoration in Manchester

Manchester Floor Sanders brings tired, painted and carpet-scarred floorboards back to life across Manchester and Greater Manchester. We strip boards back to clean timber, repair and gap-fill, then seal them with hard-wearing oils and lacquers for a warm, natural, long-lasting finish.

Most of the floors we restore are original Victorian and Edwardian pine, reclaimed parquet and 1930s oak block — the kind hiding under fitted carpet in terraces and semis right across Greater Manchester.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of floor can and can't be sanded?
Solid wood boards, thick-veneer engineered wood (roughly 2mm+ of real timber), parquet and original pine floorboards can all be sanded. Laminate, thin-veneer engineered, chipboard and vinyl/LVT can't, because the 'wood' is a printed photo layer over fibreboard that sanding cuts straight through. Check a board edge at a doorway or vent before you book: solid wood is the same timber all the way down and has non-repeating grain.
How much wood does sanding actually remove?
A full aggressive sand takes off well under a millimetre, roughly the top 0.5-1mm; a light screen far less. A solid board typically has enough timber for 4-8 sandings over its life, so you're not 'using it up' each time. We measure the wood left above the fixings and tongue before committing, especially on thin, previously-sanded period boards.
Should I sand the floors before or after moving in?
Before, on empty floors, almost every time. There's no furniture to shift, the job is faster and cleaner, and the finish is better with no risk of damaging it. Do any major plastering and painting first, sand and finish the floor last, then do your final paint touch-ups. The main exception is if you're phasing a renovation room by room.
How much dust does floor sanding make?
Far less than the old reputation suggests. We run continuous HEPA extraction on the machines, which captures around 95-99% of the dust at source, and seal doorways to stop it drifting. It's honest to call it dust-managed rather than truly dust-free: you'll still find a fine film to wipe down afterwards, but nothing like the sandstorm a hire machine on a canvas bag produces.
Is it worth sanding old boards or should I lay a new floor?
For most sound original boards, sanding is far cheaper than ripping out and laying new solid or engineered flooring, keeps the period character and avoids landfill. Replacing only makes sense where boards are rotten, too thin to sand again, or sitting on the wrong subfloor. Most tired-looking Victorian floors need only a few boards swapped, not the lot.
