Our School Floor Sanding Process in Staffordshire
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 classic parquet to modern sports flooring, we’ve restored all types of wooden floors found in primary and secondary schools across Staffordshire, including areas such as Stoke-on-Trent, Stafford, Tamworth and Lichfield.
Each project is approached with specialist knowledge to enhance both the look and structural integrity of the floor.
Timber Floors in School Halls and Gyms
Timber flooring is commonly used in school halls and gymnasiums throughout Staffordshire due to its robustness and longevity. These areas often endure heavy daily use, from assemblies to sports activities.
Our team sands the floors using advanced equipment, removing damage and imperfections before sealing with durable, slip-resistant finishes that meet school safety standards.
Parquet Flooring
Many schools in Staffordshire — particularly older or historic buildings — feature beautiful parquet floors. These need careful attention to restore without losing their charm. We stabilise loose blocks, replace missing sections with closely matched timber, and sand the floor with care to preserve its original pattern.
A long-lasting seal is then applied to protect against wear while maintaining the floor’s visual character.
Strip and Block Wood Floors
Strip and block wood floors are a common feature in school buildings across the county. They can suffer from joint separation, cupping, or uneven wear, all of which we address before any sanding work begins.
We can apply a clear or stained finish depending on the desired aesthetic, using commercial-grade lacquers built to withstand constant school traffic.
Sports Court Surfaces
For school sports halls and PE areas, precision and safety are critical. We flatten worn or uneven wooden sports courts, restore visibility with new line markings, and finish with a slip-resistant lacquer that meets Sport England performance standards.
From badminton and basketball to general PE activities, we ensure your court meets modern expectations for both safety and appearance.

Wooden Floor Restoration for Village Halls & Community Centres in Staffordshire
In addition to school flooring, we provide expert wood floor sanding, sealing and restoration services for village halls, community centres, parish halls, and scout huts throughout Staffordshire. From historic halls in Lichfield to modern community venues in Stafford and Newcastle-under-Lyme, we bring over 25 years of experience to every project.
Repairs for Worn and Damaged Community Flooring
Heavy usage, furniture movement, and the effects of time can all contribute to floor damage in public spaces. We start each project with a thorough inspection to spot signs of damage, such as loose boards, lifting or gaps. Our team carefully replaces or repairs damaged areas using matching timber to maintain visual consistency and structural soundness.
Dust-Free Sanding for a Cleaner, Safer Process
We use high-performance dust extraction sanding equipment from Bona and Lagler to minimise disruption during works. Whether we’re restoring a village hall in Rugeley or sanding a community space in Burton upon Trent, our process keeps the area clean and safe for all users.
Professional Sealing and Finishing for Long-Term Durability
After sanding, we apply a hard-wearing, slip-resistant finish suited to the venue’s intended use. Whether you’re hosting yoga sessions, toddler groups or weddings, we offer low-VOC sealants in clear or tinted finishes to match your preferences while ensuring maximum protection.
Flexible Scheduling to Suit Your Availability
We work closely with venue managers, parish councils and committees to plan restoration work at convenient times — including evenings, weekends and school holidays. Our flexible scheduling allows us to complete projects across Stoke-on-Trent, Tamworth, and surrounding areas without disrupting daily operations.
