Services
Floor Sanding
Our dust-free floor sanding process removes surface imperfections while preserving wood integrity. Using professional-grade machinery and mobile extraction units, we achieve smooth, flawless finishes suitable for residential and commercial properties. This service extends flooring lifespan by eliminating scratches and uneven wear, preparing surfaces for oiling or sealing.
Parquet Restoration
Specialist restoration for parquet floors, addressing gaps, warping, and finish degradation. We employ resin or wood strip gap filling techniques alongside precision sanding to revive intricate patterns. The process concludes with protective sealing or natural oil application to enhance durability and visual appeal.
Commercial Floor Maintenance
Tailored maintenance solutions for high-traffic commercial environments including offices, hotels, and cultural institutions. Our minimally disruptive process combines deep cleaning, targeted repairs, and durable sealing products to maintain floor aesthetics while ensuring safety compliance and longevity.
Wood Floor Oiling
Application of premium organic oils that penetrate wood fibres for enhanced water resistance and natural grain enhancement. This breathable finish preserves wood's hygrometric properties while offering easy maintenance, ideal for both traditional and contemporary interiors seeking a soft, matte appearance.
Engineered Floor Installation
Professional installation of engineered wood floors using advanced subfloor preparation techniques. We ensure precise fitting and seamless transitions while maintaining structural integrity. The process includes acclimatisation checks and moisture barrier application to prevent long-term warping or separation.
Questions
What types of wooden floors can you restore?
We work with all species including oak, walnut, maple, and exotic timbers, handling solid wood, engineered, parquet, and reclaimed flooring systems.
How long does the sanding process take?
Most domestic projects complete within 2-5 days depending on floor size and required repairs, with commercial projects scheduled for minimal operational disruption.
Is dust-free sanding completely mess-free?
Our continuous belt machinery with mobile extraction captures 99% of dust particles, though minor surface dust may remain requiring post-project cleaning.
Can you match existing floor finishes?
Yes, our technicians conduct on-site colour tests to replicate or enhance existing tones using tinted oils and stains for seamless integration.
Do you provide guarantees for your work?
We offer a 12-month warranty covering workmanship defects, with follow-up inspections available upon request to ensure long-term satisfaction.

Our engineered wood floor was sanded and refinished in 2 days. The result is better than the original and much better than we could have possibly imagined. The service was professional and helpful from start to finish. We are delighted and would recommend Mr Sander to anyone seeking a similar service.

I have a 30 year old oak floor that didn't need replacing it just needed a facelift. I contacted Mr Sander and a consultation took place with Clyde who was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. I needed the work doing quickly as my new furniture was arriving. They came the next week and did a fantastic job and the floor looks amazing. Tidy work and cleaned after. I highly recommend Clyde from Mr Sander. Excellent service!

Thanks for a great and reliable service. Taulant and his team sanded, stained and lacquered our downstairs oak flooring to a very nice professional finish and tone. The team was friendly and helpful, moving all the heavy furniture for us. They also managed to fit in some snagging where some boards had been causing problems. Overall we have been highly pleased with the service.

We used Mr Sander and initially spoke to and then met Kieran. Having accepted the quote and agreed a star date, everything went extremely well. Kieran arrived to do the work as agreed and from the first day he was excellent with his communication, the quality of work and each day across 5 days our house was left immaculate. I am 100 percent pleased with the work in our two types of wood floor, they both look amazing. Thank you Kieran you were so professional and so good at what you do.

Amazing service, very professional, helpful, quick and efficient, below are before and after pictures and also a picture I was sent while at work to confirm which colour option I liked. Also, compared to other trades people they were incredibly tidy and it barely seemed as though anyone had been home while I was out.

Fantastic service from Mr Sander and his team. Prompt response from quotation request. A visit was arranged within a couple of days. The team were extremely knowledgeable on parquet flooring with lots of advice and suggestions. The team arrived on time and worked tirelessly to get the floor sanded and oiled. There were several discussions about gap filling, different options for colour and throughout Mr Sander genuinely cared about the look and finish, not about how much money he could make from it.
There were plenty of options that could have cost more but Mr Sander was honest and I felt had extreme pride in the finished product. We cannot recommend Mr Sander enough. the whole process was excellent. Bernie & Lisa

Not sure where to begin to express my joy at the miracle of transformation wrought by Filip from Mr Sanders on our wood floor! The floor was laid in 2000 and covers 40m2 of the ground floor of our house. Before Filip worked his magic, it was stained, marked and scratched, almost black in places and no amount of cleaning could change the way it looked. It's now better than new, no stains to be seen and so much lighter.
I went for the ultra matt varnish and the floor looks amazing - all the natural colours of the wood are enhanced. To make the experience even better, Filip was so kind and reassuring about the whole process. He was punctual and arrived early so that I could get to work by 8am. He is an absolute gentleman, offering to come even earlier to help me lift heavy furniture if I wasn't able to get other people to assist.
He is a true professional and has many years of experience sanding floors. You know from the initial meeting that your floor is in very safe hands! I cannot recommend Filip and Mr Sander highly enough.

A really pleasant process from beginning to end. Kieran answered all my persistent questions about which finish would be best and I settled on lacquer. I was worried it would look plastic but it looks amazingly natural and better than before. Kieran was friendly and got so much done in one day my neighbours were pleasantly surprised. House was left cleaner than before. Quote was also very reasonable and cheaper than others.

I recently had the pleasure of having Ivan from Mr Sander work on our wooden floors, and I must say, he was absolutely amazing. Right from the start, Ivan was punctual, polite, and incredibly professional, quickly establishing a level of trust that allowed us to feel comfortable with him working in our home. Ivan meticulously sanded our oak floor, applied a coat of primer, and then finished with three coats of varnish, transforming our floors into a beautifully natural and rejuvenated state. Based on Ivan's knowledgeable advice, we chose varnish over oil, a decision that has left our floors looking stunning and worry-free from stains - a choice we're genuinely thankful for.
The entire process took a couple of days, during which Ivan demonstrated not only his skill and attention to detail but also his professionalism and excellent communication. We felt so confident in Ivan's work ethic that we entrusted him to continue the job while we were away, and he did not disappoint. I can't recommend Ivan (and the firm he works for - Mr Sander) highly enough. If you're looking for someone who is not just skilled in sanding and polishing wooden floors but is also trustworthy and a pleasure to interact with, Ivan is your go-to professional. His work on our floors speaks volumes of his expertise and dedication to delivering outstanding results.

Kieron was super conscientious- letting know at each stage how the final outcome would present itself. My project was not the easiest as it was a renovation of a period property which had not been looked after - the finish was really nice - even the builders liked it - thanks so much Kieron - great job!

This is a fantastic company that really looks after its clients. The subcontractors they use are all excellent a we have used them three times over two years for our property. Our last experience with Clyde and his brother Albi was fantastic. They had to match a section of antique floor boards from reclaimed wood and re stain some newer boards. The match is near perfect and we are delighted with the result- and other than the floor results you would have never known they were here. NO dust and No rubbish. Thanks guys!
