Our School Floor Sanding Process in Warwickshire
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 gymnasium surfaces, we’ve restored every type of wooden floor found in primary and secondary schools throughout Warwickshire, including Warwick, Leamington Spa, Coventry, and surrounding areas.
Each floor type is treated with a tailored approach to maximise both appearance and structural longevity.
Timber Floors in School Halls and Gyms
Solid timber floors remain a popular choice in school halls and sports gyms thanks to their durability and resistance to wear. These floors regularly endure heavy foot traffic, sports activities, and assemblies.
We use precision sanding equipment to remove scuffs, dents and worn finishes, followed by the application of tough, slip-resistant coatings that meet school safety standards.
Parquet Flooring
Common in historic Warwickshire schools, parquet flooring brings elegance and tradition — but often requires expert care. We secure loose blocks, replace missing sections with matching timber, and sand carefully to retain the detail and symmetry of the original design.
Once prepared, the parquet is sealed with a durable, protective lacquer suited for everyday school usage.
Strip and Block Wood Floors
Strip and block flooring is a popular choice in schools across Rugby, Kenilworth, and Nuneaton. These floors can develop issues like movement or cupping over time, which we fully address during restoration.
They can be finished in a wide range of tones, and we seal them using heavy-duty lacquers built for longevity and daily school use.
Sports Court Surfaces
In school gymnasiums, sports halls, and PE rooms, the floor needs to be visually clear and functionally accurate. We restore sports court surfaces by sanding flat, repainting line markings, and applying non-slip lacquers that comply with Sport England guidelines.
Whether the court is used for badminton, netball, indoor football or multi-sport activities, we deliver regulation-ready results every time.

Wooden Floor Restoration for Village Halls & Community Centres in Warwickshire
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 Warwickshire. From historic memorial halls in Warwick to modern community spaces in Leamington Spa and Rugby, we bring decades of experience to every project.
Repairs for Worn and Damaged Community Flooring
Heavy use, furniture movement and occasional leaks can all take a toll on community floors. We begin with a detailed inspection to identify loose boards, damaged sections or uneven surfaces. Using traditional joinery techniques and matching timber, we restore the structure and appearance of every floor with precision.
Dust-Free Sanding for a Cleaner, Safer Process
Our industry-leading machines from Bona and Lagler use powerful dust-extraction technology — ideal for venues used by community groups, exercise classes, or childcare providers. Whether we’re restoring a scout hut in Kenilworth or a village hall in Stratford-upon-Avon, we guarantee a clean, safe working environment.
Professional Sealing and Finishing for Long-Term Durability
After sanding, we apply high-quality, slip-resistant finishes suitable for busy public venues. We offer a range of low-VOC sealants — from clear matte to rich stained options — to match the space and protect the surface from daily wear. Our finishes are perfect for events, children’s groups, and multi-use spaces.
Flexible Scheduling to Suit Your Availability
We know village halls and community centres run on tight schedules. That’s why we work flexibly — evenings, weekends, and school holidays included — to ensure your project is completed with minimal disruption. We regularly coordinate with caretakers, trustees, and local councils in Coventry, Nuneaton, Alcester and beyond.
