Transform Your Floors with Sanding, Staining, and Oiling

Sanding, staining, and oiling are transformative processes that can completely revitalise your wooden floors. Sanding removes scratches, imperfections, and worn finishes, creating a smooth surface ready for restoration. Custom staining adds rich, even tones that enhance the natural grain and character of the wood. Oiling provides a breathable matte finish that enhances durability and is easier to maintain than traditional lacquer finishes. These combined techniques offer a cost-effective solution to extend the lifespan of your floors, making them look as good as new while ensuring they remain practical for everyday use.

Key benefits of these techniques include:

  • Smooth and even surfaces are achieved through expert sanding
  • Customisable colours and finishes to suit your style
  • Durable, breathable finishes that are easy to maintain

FAQs

Why choose sanding, staining, and oiling for oak floors?

Sanding removes surface damage, scratches, and old finishes, creating a smooth, clean foundation for restoration. Staining customises the colour of the floor, enhancing the natural grain and character of the wood. Oiling provides a breathable, matte finish that’s durable and easy to maintain. This combination not only revitalises the floor but also ensures long-term beauty and protection.

Are Pallmann products suitable for high-traffic areas?

Yes, Pallmann products are designed for durability, making them ideal for high-traffic areas. Pall-X 333 stain provides an even colour application, while Magic Oil creates a robust matte finish that resists wear and tear. These finishes are perfect for both busy households and commercial spaces.

Is it better to sand and stain beading or replace it?

While sanding and staining existing beading is possible, it is labour-intensive and less cost-effective than replacing it with pre-finished or painted beading. Replacement is often quicker, ensuring a seamless and professional finish with less effort and expense.

How do I maintain an oiled oak floor?

Oiled oak floors are easy to maintain with periodic re-oiling and regular cleaning using suitable wood floor cleaners. Avoid harsh chemicals and ensure spills are wiped up quickly to prevent staining. For added longevity, follow professional aftercare advice provided by your floor restoration expert.

What is the advantage of a matte oil finish over lacquer?

Matte oil finishes penetrate the wood, enhancing its natural grain and providing a breathable, low-sheen look. They are easier to maintain with spot treatments or re-oiling as needed. In contrast, lacquer creates a surface film that may require full sanding and refinishing if damaged or neglected.

We had a great experience with Silver Lining Floor Care Company. First of all, they came to see me the same day I contacted them to show how the floor sanding would work and also apply a couple of coloured varnishes to appreciate what the final effect would look like. Once selected, they have shared the most professional quote I have seen in my life, with a clear Video explanation that takes you through the quote line by line. Additionally, they have great customer care - they are always available over the phone, whatsapp and email to really address any query you have. Cherry on the cake, they have delivered a very good job, respecting their promise. I would highly recommend.

Super results, pleasant and professional workers, constructive and flexible process. Big thank you to the team! Got the floor of one room, which was very worn and damaged, sanded down, re-stained and lacquered. Particular challenge was trying to match the rest of the flat's flooring, which I didn't know what products had been used on it. The team was super engaged in trying to work this problem, and the results were fantastic.

Silver Lining Floor Care did an outstanding job sanding and oiling the floors in my new flat. They successfully removed all stains and scratches, leaving the floor looking brand new. The team was very professional throughout the process, providing a detailed quote before starting and offering various options to suit my needs. Their expertise and attention to detail really stood out. I couldn’t be happier with the results, and I feel like I got great value for money. If you're looking for reliable, high-quality floor care, I highly recommend Silver Lining Floor Care!

Wood Floor Sanding & Oiling, London, Bermondsey

Johnny and the team were very professional. We had lots of calls to discuss reconditioning our Reclamed Burmese teak parquet floor. We planned the dates for when we went away on holiday. His team were trustworthy reliable with great communication! when we came back from holiday the floor was completed and the treatment is holding up well two months later, much better than the original treatment which was a hard wax oil that only lasted 2 years! it was applied by general builders with no expertise in wood floor treatments. This time we went with a lacquer with hardener, we have a big Labrador dog and we still have no visible scratches on the surface and we look forward to seeing how it holds up with the test of time!

Silver Lining Floor Care conducted some Victorian Tile restoration and cleaning for me. A day after the initial visit some white residue came to the surface due to moisture in the air. On calling Silver Lining Floor Care to tell them this they returned and rectified immediately. An excellent job and will be using again. I can recommend.

Silver Lining Floor Care refinished our existing floorbaords and installed new engineered oak in the remainder of our flat. They are an extremely professional and efficient business to work with. Johnny was very responsive throughout the scoping and quoting process and recommended an engineered oak floorboard that was both higher quality and cheaper than the boards I'd been looking at. Peter first leveled our floors before installing the new boards to ensure a very professional fit. He was easy to communicate with and sent photos throughout the installation as we were not around to see it in person. We have worked with lots of contractors for the renovation of our flat and been dismayed at how so many companies leave the property in a total mess. Silver Lining Floor Care have been the only company to take good care of the property and leave it in perfect condition. Very happy with the finished product and would definitely recommend them.

Johnny, Peter and Milosz did a great job on our floors. The quote was provided promptly and we were kept informed at all times of appointments and next steps. When the carpet was taken up prior to work, this showed that some floorboards needed to be repaired. Milosz did a very thorough job in repairing these, removing gaps, strengthening the existing boards and taking a great deal of care to make the floor look as good as possible. I would recommend Silver Lining Floor Care.

Wood Floor Sanding & Fishing with Raw Wood Effect Lacquer

We had new doors on the back of the house which meant we needed the floor lifted and taken to a new border point. Small job but as time consuming as a new floor. Team were amazing and cut out the old boards and put in the new ones so everything fitted flush with a great trim border they made out of a spare board. Really nice people, clean and tidy and would highly recommend.
