Floor Sanding Services

Wood floors age well — but only when they’re properly cared for. Over time, foot traffic, furniture, spills and everyday wear leave hardwood and parquet floors scratched, dull and uneven. Floor sanding restores the surface of your flooring, revealing clean, healthy wood beneath and bringing back the natural character of your space.

Handy Floors provides professional floor sanding for homes and commercial properties across St Albans, Greater London and nearby areas. We remove years of wear, level uneven surfaces and prepare floors for a smooth, long-lasting finish that transforms the look of your property without the cost of replacing the floor.

FAQs – Floor Sanding

What is floor sanding?

Floor sanding removes the worn top layer of wood to expose a fresh, clean surface underneath. This process eliminates scratches, dents and imperfections and prepares the floor for finishing.

How long does floor sanding take?

Most residential floor sanding projects take one to two days depending on the size and condition of the floor. Commercial floor sanding may take longer for larger spaces.

Is floor sanding better than replacing wood floors?

In most cases, yes. Floor sanding is more affordable, less disruptive and more environmentally responsible than replacing hardwood or parquet flooring.

Can floor sanding fix deep scratches and damage?

Floor sanding removes surface damage and most scratches. Very deep damage may still be visible, but sanding significantly improves the overall look and uniformity of the floor.

Do you offer floor sanding for commercial properties?

Yes. We provide commercial floor sanding and floor cleaning services for offices, shops and other business spaces in St Albans and Greater London.
