Floor Maintenance
It is no secret that with the right care, a well-maintained wooden floor can last for decades—even up to a century. Real wood floors are built for longevity, but to preserve their beauty and structural integrity, regular floor maintenance is essential. The good news? Proper maintenance doesn’t have to be time-consuming, complicated, or expensive.
Wood floor maintenance includes both everyday care routines and occasional professional services. While regular cleaning and using the right products at home help protect your floor from daily wear, professional treatments go a step further to restore, protect, and enhance the floor’s finish. At Sanding.uk, we provide expert maintenance solutions tailored to all types of wooden flooring—whether in homes, offices, schools, or commercial venues across London.
From professional floor cleaning and buffing to oiling, polishing, and protective recoating, our team helps you get the most out of your floors. Contact us today for a personalised maintenance plan and enjoy wooden floors that look beautiful and last longer.
Why Floor Maintenance Is So Important
While maintenance enhances the visual appeal of your floor, its primary benefit is preserving the floor’s condition, structure, and lifespan. Professional floor maintenance services tackle a wide range of wood flooring issues—from dull finishes and minor wear to early signs of damage—while offering preventive protection to maintain the floor’s original texture, colour, and grain.
Different maintenance techniques are used depending on the type, finish, and condition of the floor. Whether it’s regular buffing, polishing, or re-oiling, each service is designed to keep your wooden flooring in peak condition for years to come.
It’s essential to choose a qualified and experienced team for your floor maintenance needs. Trusted professionals apply a tailored approach to each project, using premium products and state-of-the-art equipment to achieve lasting results. With expert maintenance, your wooden floor can reach its full potential—leaving a lasting impression every time someone enters the room.

Below is an overview of the key maintenance solutions we provide:
- Professional Wood Floor Cleaning – A deep, machine-assisted clean to remove stubborn dirt, grime, and buildup that household cleaners can't reach. Ideal for refreshing tired-looking floors without refinishing.
- Buffing – Light mechanical abrasion that smooths the surface and removes fine scratches and scuffs, restoring shine and preparing the floor for recoating or polishing.
- Recoating – Reapplying a protective layer of lacquer or oil to extend the lifespan of your existing finish and shield the wood from future wear and moisture damage.
- Reoiling – For oiled wood floors, we replenish the protective oil layer to nourish the timber, deepen the colour, and preserve the floor’s natural matte finish.
- Polishing – Adds a rich, elegant sheen while improving surface resistance to everyday wear. Great for regular touch-ups and aesthetic enhancement.
- Staining – Change or refresh the tone of your floor with professional-grade wood stains that enhance the grain and give your interior a completely new character.

Frequently Asked Questions About Floor Maintenance
How often should wood floors be professionally maintained?
For most homes, professional maintenance is recommended every 12 to 24 months. In high-traffic areas or commercial spaces, more frequent services like buffing or recoating may be needed every 6 to 12 months to prevent wear and prolong finish life.
Do I still need professional maintenance if I clean my floors regularly?
Yes. While daily and weekly cleaning helps reduce surface dirt and wear, professional maintenance targets deeper layers and provides treatments (like recoating or reoiling) that restore protection and shine—something regular mopping can’t achieve.
Is floor maintenance messy or disruptive?
No. We use dust-free equipment and eco-friendly products to ensure clean, efficient work. Most maintenance jobs—such as buffing or polishing—can be completed in a few hours with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Will maintenance change the colour of my floor?
Only if you choose to apply a new stain. Otherwise, standard maintenance services like cleaning, oiling, and polishing will refresh and deepen your floor’s natural tone without altering its colour.
What type of floors do you work on?
We maintain all types of wooden flooring, including solid hardwood, engineered wood, parquet, and sports floors. Each floor type gets a tailored maintenance plan suited to its finish, age, and usage level.
