Our School Floor Sanding Process in Lincolnshire
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.
St Mark’s Catholic Junior & Infant School
The school’s existing floor was sanded, partially filled and sealed using Bona Traffic HD Lacquer. Layers of polish applied over many years were removed, exposing the amazing natural colour of the flooring.
What Types of School Floors Do We Restore?
From elegant parquet to heavy-duty sports flooring, we’ve restored every type of wooden floor found in primary and secondary schools throughout Lincolnshire, including Lincoln, Grantham, Boston and surrounding towns and villages.
Each floor is assessed individually and treated with the right method to enhance both its durability and visual appeal.
Hardwood Floors in School Halls and Gyms
Many school halls and gymnasiums across Lincolnshire are fitted with solid timber flooring due to its resilience and long lifespan. These areas endure constant use, from assemblies and events to indoor sports sessions.
We sand each floor using professional-grade, dust-free equipment, then apply a hardwearing, anti-slip finish that meets the latest school safety standards.
Traditional Parquet Flooring
Parquet floors are a common feature in many older school buildings across Lincolnshire, especially in historic towns like Stamford and Louth. We carry out careful restoration by fixing loose blocks, matching missing timbers, and sanding gently to preserve the character of each layout.
Our team applies a protective lacquer that shields the wood from everyday school activity while maintaining its unique aesthetic.
Strip and Block Timber Flooring
Often found in classrooms and corridors, strip and block wooden floors are a popular choice across modern and traditional school buildings. Where floors show wear, gaps or movement, we make structural repairs before sanding.
These floors are highly customisable — ideal for tinted finishes or subtle stains — and we seal them with commercial-grade products designed to handle the pressures of school use.
Indoor Sports Flooring
In PE halls, indoor sports courts and activity rooms, floor safety and performance are key. We restore wooden sports flooring to a perfectly smooth finish, re-mark court lines with precision, and seal with high-traction lacquer for sports including badminton, basketball, netball and more.
We ensure all sports surfaces are regulation-compliant, safe for students, and ready for use.

Wooden Floor Restoration for Village Halls & Community Centres in Lincolnshire
In addition to schools, we also restore wooden flooring in village halls, community centres, church halls, and scout groups throughout Lincolnshire. From historic halls in Gainsborough and Louth to modern community hubs in Lincoln and Skegness, our expert team brings professional care and craftsmanship to every project.
Skilled Repairs for Well-Used Public Floors
Wooden floors in public venues experience frequent wear and tear. We carry out thorough inspections to spot damaged or loose boards, trip hazards, or lifting timbers. Our team makes seamless repairs using matching materials, ensuring long-term performance and a uniform appearance.
Clean, Dust-Free Sanding Process
We use sanding systems from Bona and Lagler, equipped with integrated dust extraction. This creates a cleaner, safer environment — ideal for venues used by children, elderly groups, or for health-focused activities such as fitness and dance classes.
Durable Finishes for Busy Community Spaces
Our high-traffic finishes are available in a choice of sheens and colours to suit your venue’s style. All coatings are slip-resistant and low-VOC, making them suitable for everything from playgroups and youth clubs to weddings and local meetings.
Timely Work with Minimal Disruption
We understand that halls and centres often have tight usage schedules. That’s why we offer flexible bookings during evenings, weekends and school holidays — working closely with committee members and caretakers to keep your venue running smoothly.

From Boston to Market Rasen and Spalding to Sleaford, we’re trusted by local councils, community groups and charities to restore their flooring to a high standard. With over 25 years of experience, full insurance, and DBS-checked operatives, your hall is in expert hands.
