Robert Dyan

Limestone Polishing, London, Finchley

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.

First time using Silver Lining. Absolutely excellent job done cleaning our lounge rugs and carpets, and also our whole hallway and stairs by their cleaner Mick using a truck-mounted cleaning system. Will definitely be using them in the future.

Simon Rossi

Carpet Cleaning, London, Hither Green

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.

Charlie McNelly

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!

Antonio Di Buono

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!

S Li

Wood Floor Sanding & Oiling, London, Wandsworth

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.

O Bidder

Victorian Tiles Restoration, London, Kensigton

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.

Lisa Fox

Wood Floor Fitting, Sanding & Oiling, London, Clapham Common

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.

Johnny and his team has been very reliable. Great work. I was touched to learn about Johnny's story and his journey in the floorcare industry. Yes they are perhaps not the cheapest company but by far the best one to choose if you want a good job done. Love the fact they use the Pallmann range of products - Great reliable Quality

Robert Hurst

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.

The Timeless Appeal of Wood Floor

Wooden floors capture historical charm and artistry that modern alternatives often miss. Their timeless appeal lies in both aesthetics and the warmth they bring to every room. As a natural material, hardwood flooring uniquely connects us to nature.

Why Wood Floor Restoration Matters

Restoring a wood floor preserves both its character and structural integrity, helping maintain its warmth and charm.

It’s also a sustainable alternative to replacement, extending the life of your timber floors while reducing waste.

At Silver Lining Floor Care, floor restoration is not just a service — it’s a craft we’ve refined over decades of experience.

How Much Does Wood Floor Restoration Cost?

The cost of restoring wooden floors in London typically depends on floor size, condition, and the type of finish you choose. While basic maintenance starts lower, full sanding and refinishing are more involved and priced accordingly.

To understand what’s right for your floor and budget, see our wood floor restoration pricing page.

How Long Does Restoration Take?

Most wood floor restoration projects take between 1–4 days depending on surface prep, drying time, and finish type. Cleaning may take just a day, while sanding and refinishing require more time to ensure proper curing.

We’ll give you a clear timeline during your initial assessment.

Can I Restore My Floors Without Sanding?

Yes — if your floor has no deep scratches or major damage, we can often restore its shine with deep cleaning, buffing, or a fresh coat. This approach is quicker, more affordable, and still highly effective.

Read more in our blog: Restoring wood floors without sanding.

What If My Floor Can’t Be Refinished?

Some engineered or previously sanded floors may not support another sanding cycle. In these cases, we offer safe alternatives such as deep cleaning, targeted board replacement, or a buffing and recoating with a fresh protective layer.

Our team will always recommend the least invasive option that achieves the result you want.

Identifying Issues

A meticulous assessment is the first step in our solid wood flooring restoration journey. We examine every inch of the hardwood flooring, identifying all forms of damage, including warping, water damage, deep scratches, and even pest infestations to your wooden floor. This thorough analysis ensures that we address not only the visible signs of wear but also the hidden issues that could lead to future problems.

Tailored Restoration for Every Floor

Every wood floor tells its own story. That’s why we design bespoke restoration plans based on:

The wood species
Age and installation history
Unique damage or challenges

We balance the original look with modern restoration methods, ensuring your floor is both authentic and resilient.

Floor Repair

Every repair is an opportunity to strengthen and beautify your wood floor. We address not only the immediate concerns but also fortify the floor against potential future issues, ensuring each plank and every loose block and parquet floor piece is perfectly aligned and secure, resulting in firm flooring.

Replacing Damaged Boards and Parquet Floor Blocks

When replacement is necessary, we carefully source wood flooring planks that not only match the existing parquet flooring but also comply with sustainability standards. We ensure new boards and parquet floor blocks blend flawlessly with your floor’s overall aesthetic.

Deep Cleaning

Our deep cleaning process uses state-of-the-art equipment and non-toxic cleaning solutions that are tough on stains but gentle on wood, ensuring that your floors are not only clean but also maintain their integrity.

Restoring Natural Shine

We use premium polishes that not only restore the shine of your parquet floor but also provide a protective layer that repels dirt and dust and resists wear, keeping your floors looking pristine for longer.

Why Recoating Matters

Daily footfall, pets, and life’s little spills all take a toll on wooden floors.

Our professional recoating service adds a durable, even layer of protection — helping your floor resist scratches, wear, and moisture.

Floor Sanding

Our floor sanding process is meticulously conducted to remove old coatings and smooth out imperfections, providing a perfect canvas for the new finish to your hardwood flooring. The sanding is critical for achieving a uniform and beautiful look across the hardwood floor.

Selecting Favourite Wood Stain and Finishes

The final finish is chosen with your collaboration to reflect your taste and the character of your home. From natural oils to high-tech polyurethanes, we offer a range of finishes that cater to different aesthetics and functional needs after a full floor sanding process is complete.

Our Commitment to Excellence

As Pallmann-approved contractors, we adhere to a strict code of practice that ensures every restoration project meets high standards of quality. Our team is continuously trained in the latest techniques and uses the best Pallmann products.

Quality Assurance

We are proud of our craftsmanship and stand by it with comprehensive warranties. Our team’s expertise provides you with the peace of mind that your wooden floors are in capable hands, and the results will be nothing short of stunning.

Your Location and Lifestyle

We understand that each home is as unique as its inhabitants. Our evaluations consider the nuances of your location’s climate, your family’s lifestyle, and how the floor fits into your daily routines.

Tailoring Restoration to You

Our service is not just about restoring wooden floors; it’s about tailoring the restoration process to suit your preferences and lifestyle. We work closely with you to ensure the final result aligns with your vision for your home.

Customer Reviews and Testimonials

Our customer reviews reflect the passion and dedication we bring to every floor project. From the initial consultation to the final walk-through, we strive to exceed expectations and leave a lasting impression of quality care and a perfect floor.

Maintenance Tips

After your floor has been restored to its original splendour, proper maintenance is key to preserving its condition. We provide you with a tailored maintenance care plan, including recommended cleaning products for hardwood floors and the tools that will maintain the integrity and beauty of your hardwood floors.

The Seasonal Impact on Parquet Flooring

Solid wood is a responsive material that reacts to changes in humidity and temperature. We offer guidance on how to manage these environmental factors, ensuring your floors remain stable and beautiful throughout the seasons.

Eco-Friendly Practices and Products

At Silver Lining Floor Care, we are committed to the environment. Our restoration process is designed to be as eco-friendly as possible. We use sustainable, non-toxic finishes and materials that are safe for both your home and the planet.

The Expert Touch Makes a Difference

There is a significant difference between a DIY floor restoration job and the work of a professional when it comes to wood floor restoration. A professional service brings years of experience and specialised equipment to the table, ensuring the floor restoration is done correctly and to a high standard. This expertise not only guarantees the best aesthetic outcome but also ensures the structural integrity of your floors.

Long-Term Savings and Increased Property Value

While investing in professional restoration services may seem like a significant upfront cost, it results in long-term savings by avoiding the need for more frequent repairs or premature replacement of parquet blocks. Furthermore, beautifully restored solid wood floors can significantly increase the value of your property, making it a wise investment.

Warranty and Peace of Mind

Choosing Silver Lining Floor Care means you benefit from a comprehensive warranty on our floor services. This warranty is our promise of quality and your assurance that your investment is protected. We want you to have complete peace of mind knowing that your restored floors will continue to look beautiful for years to come, with the backing of our expert aftercare.

We are Pallmann-certified contractors, and we offer a 2-year manufacturer guarantee for additional peace of mind.

The Transformation of Wood Floor Restoration

The transformation achieved through wood floor restoration is both visible and visceral. It is a change that you can see and feel – a testament to the durability and longevity of wood as a flooring material and to the craftsmanship that goes into its care.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about wood floor restoration in London

How much does it cost to restore a wooden floor in London?

Restoration costs vary depending on your floor’s size, condition, and the services required — from simple cleaning to full sanding and refinishing. In London, professional wood floor restoration typically ranges from £15–£70 per m².

You can explore a breakdown in our wood floor restoration pricing guide.

Is it worth restoring hardwood floors instead of replacing them?

Absolutely. Restoration is often more cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and preserves the unique character of your floor. Many hardwood floors can be brought back to life even after years of wear, saving money and materials compared to a full replacement.

How long does wood floor restoration take?

Typical projects take 1–4 days, depending on the condition, size, and whether sanding or recoating is involved. Cleaning and buffing take less time, while sanding and drying finishes may extend the timeline slightly.

Can all wooden floors be sanded or refinished?

Not always. Engineered wood floors have a limited sanding depth, and floors that have already been sanded multiple times may not be suitable for another full sanding. We assess this carefully during your consultation.

What is the process of wood floor restoration?

Our process includes an initial assessment, repair, deep cleaning, sanding, and applying a protective finish. We customize each restoration plan based on the condition and type of wood, ensuring a perfect finish.

Can you restore a wood floor without sanding it?

Yes — not all floors need sanding. If your floor’s damage is superficial, we can often restore it using deep cleaning, polishing, or a screen-and-recoat method.

What mistakes should I avoid when refinishing hardwood floors?

DIY errors like over-sanding, choosing the wrong finish, or skipping surface prep can lead to uneven results or long-term damage. Always test finishes and consult professionals if in doubt — or trust a certified team like ours to do it right the first time.

Should I buff, clean, or fully sand my wood floors?

It depends on the current state of your floor.

Buffing works for minor scuffs
Cleaning is ideal for surface-level dirt
Full sanding is needed for deep scratches, uneven wear, or failed finishes

We assess your floor first to recommend the most suitable option.

Does wood floor restoration add value to my home?

Yes. Professionally restored wood floors enhance your home’s visual appeal, durability, and resale value — especially in London’s competitive property market.

How do I maintain my floor after restoration?

Regular dry cleaning, using pH-neutral products, and avoiding excess moisture are key. We also provide tailored maintenance plans and ongoing care advice.

Can I restore hardwood floors myself?

DIY sanding and refinishing is possible but risky without proper tools or experience. Mistakes can be costly and irreversible. For best results — especially with valuable or delicate floors — a professional team is strongly recommended.
