Our School Floor Sanding Process in Northamptonshire
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 classic herringbone parquet to high-traffic gym floors, we’ve restored every type of wooden surface found in primary and secondary schools across Northamptonshire, including Northampton, Kettering and Wellingborough.
Each project is approached with care and precision to enhance the floor’s durability, safety and long-term aesthetic value.
Timber Floors in Halls and Gyms
Solid timber floors are a staple in school halls and gymnasiums due to their strength and longevity. These floors endure daily assemblies, PE lessons and extracurricular activities.
We carefully sand down worn surfaces using dust-free machinery and apply slip-resistant, hardwearing lacquers to bring them back to life and meet educational safety standards.
Traditional Parquet Restoration
Many older schools in towns like Rushden, Daventry and Corby still feature beautiful parquet flooring. These heritage surfaces require a delicate, experienced approach.
We repair loose or missing blocks, match replacement timber seamlessly, and finish with a protective lacquer that safeguards the distinctive parquet pattern for years to come.
Strip and Block Wood Flooring
Found in classrooms and corridors throughout Northamptonshire, strip and block wood floors often show wear through movement, joint gaps or unevenness.
We level and stabilise the surface before sanding and finishing with tough, commercial-grade coatings that handle the daily demands of school environments.
Wooden Sports Courts
Indoor sports floors must deliver traction, visibility and resilience. Our service includes sanding back existing finishes, reapplying game court line markings (for basketball, badminton, netball etc.), and sealing the surface with a durable, high-friction lacquer approved for athletic use.
We help Northamptonshire schools maintain safe, attractive sports courts that are ready for daily PE lessons and sporting events.
Ward End Primary School
Uplift, re-installation and restoration of expanded, water-damaged parquet block floor.
Wooden Floor Restoration for Village Halls & Community Centres in Northamptonshire
In addition to school floor restoration, we carry out professional sanding, sealing and repairs for village halls, community centres, church halls and scout huts throughout Northamptonshire. From historic spaces in Oundle and Towcester to busy community hubs in Northampton and Kettering, we bring expert craftsmanship and decades of experience to every project.
Restoring Worn and Damaged Community Floors
Community spaces see constant use, from fitness classes and youth groups to parish events and coffee mornings. We begin with a detailed floor assessment to identify areas of damage or unevenness. Our team replaces broken or lifted boards with carefully matched timber, using proven joinery techniques for a seamless repair.
Dust-Free Sanding for Minimal Disruption
Using market-leading equipment from Bona and Lagler, we offer a virtually dust-free sanding service. This is ideal for shared venues that host childcare groups, dance classes or public events — whether it’s a small church hall in Brackley or a large village centre near Wellingborough.
Durable Finishes for Busy Community Use
We apply durable, non-slip finishes tailored to the space’s usage — from clear, low-sheen lacquers to rich-toned sealants that add warmth and depth. All of our products are low-VOC and suitable for high-footfall environments such as yoga studios, toddler groups or fundraising events.
Flexible Scheduling to Match Hall Availability
We know that community spaces often operate to fixed timetables. That’s why we offer out-of-hours service, including evenings, weekends and school holidays, to carry out your floor restoration without disrupting regular bookings. We regularly work with committee members, parish councils and venue managers across Daventry, Rushden and beyond.
