Our School Floor Sanding Process
We follow a proven, step-by-step process to ensure every school floor sanding and restoration project is completed to the highest standards — safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption.
1. Initial Survey and Quotation
Every school flooring sanding project begins with a site visit.
We assess the condition of your wooden floors, identify any damaged areas, and provide a clear, no-obligation quotation. Whether it’s a parquet floor in a school hall or a sports floor in a gymnasium, we tailor our approach to suit your needs, scheduling work during holidays or outside teaching hours where possible.
2. Repairs and Preparation
Before sanding begins, we carry out any necessary floor repairs.
This might include replacing loose or damaged parquet blocks, re-fixing sports floor battens, or securing strip flooring that has come away over time. Our goal is to ensure your floor is sound and level, ready for a flawless finish.
3. Dust-Free Sanding
We use professional-grade Bona and Lagler floor sanding equipment, fitted with advanced dust extraction systems that capture 95% of airborne dust at source. This means less mess, faster clean-up, and a safer environment for staff and students.
We sand your school floors in multiple passes, removing old coatings and smoothing out imperfections to reveal the natural beauty of the wood.
4. Application of Sealants or Finishes
Once the school floor sanding is complete, we apply durable, low-VOC sealants or lacquers to protect the floor and bring out the grain.
We use commercial-grade finishes from trusted brands such as Junckers, Bona and Granwax — all of which are designed to withstand the heavy footfall of a busy school environment.
We can also colour-tint the floor using water-based stains or reactive finishes to suit the aesthetic of your building.
5. Line Marking (Optional)
If you have a sports hall, gymnasium or multi-use games area, we offer full sports floor line marking as part of the service.
Whether it’s badminton courts, netball lines, or 5-a-side football markings, we use durable PU line paints that comply with Sport England guidelines.
This integrated approach means your school floor is fully restored and ready for use with no need for a second contractor.

What Types of School Floors Do We Restore?
From traditional parquet to modern sports hall surfaces, we have the tools and experience to restore all types of wooden flooring commonly found in primary and secondary schools across Birmingham and the wider West Midlands.
Each floor type is treated with a tailored approach to ensure the best possible results — both visually and structurally.
Timber Floors in School Halls and Gyms
Timber flooring is a staple in school halls and gymnasiums across Birmingham — from Sutton Coldfield to Edgbaston. Known for its durability, it can withstand years of assemblies, foot traffic and sports use.
We use precision sanding equipment to remove surface damage, then apply a tough, slip-resistant lacquer that restores both appearance and performance while meeting educational safety standards.
Parquet Flooring
Parquet flooring is often found in older schools across areas like Moseley and Kings Heath, adding warmth and character to classrooms and halls. We lift and re-bond loose blocks, replace missing pieces with matching timber, and sand carefully to preserve the original pattern.
Finished with a high-durability sealant, these floors are protected against everyday school use while maintaining their classic look.
Strip and Block Wood Floors
Strip and block flooring is popular in both primary and secondary schools throughout Birmingham. We inspect each floor for cupping, movement or joint issues, carry out repairs, and sand the surface to a smooth, even finish.
Perfect for custom finishes — whether natural or stained — these floors are sealed with commercial-grade coatings built to last.
Sports Court Surfaces
In school sports halls and gymnasiums, surfaces must be safe, durable and clearly marked. We sand wooden sports floors flat, reapply accurate line markings for multiple activities, and seal with a high-friction lacquer approved by Sport England.
Whether your court is used for basketball, badminton, indoor football or general PE, we’ll ensure it’s clean, level and regulation-ready for pupils across North, South, East and West Birmingham.
