Common questions about our professional floor sanding services
Our professional dust extraction systems capture 99% of the dust created during sanding. While no system can eliminate dust entirely, our equipment minimises it significantly, allowing you to remain living in your home during the process with minimal cleaning afterwards.
For an average-sized room (20-25m²), the sanding process typically takes 1-2 days, with an additional 1-3 days for applying and drying finishes, depending on the product used. Larger areas or floors requiring extensive repair work may take longer. We'll provide a specific timeline during your assessment.
This depends on the thickness of the wood. Solid hardwood floors can typically be sanded 5-7 times over their lifetime. Engineered floors usually allow for 1-3 sandings, depending on the thickness of the top veneer. Our assessment will determine how many times your specific floor has been sanded previously and how much wear layer remains.
This varies by finish type. Water-based lacquers typically allow light foot traffic after 24 hours and full use after 72 hours. Oil finishes generally require 24-48 hours before light use and up to 7 days for full curing. We'll provide specific guidelines for your chosen finish and recommend waiting as long as possible before returning furniture and rugs.
