PRECISION
Stain Application with Seamless Blending
A beautiful finish starts with careful preparation. Our sanding process smooths out the surface and opens the grain, making it ready to accept stain evenly. We apply stains by hand for controlled coverage and blend edges and boards carefully to avoid patchiness. This stage is key to creating a unified and professional look across the entire floor.
- fine sanding to open wood grain
- controlled application by hand
- attention to edges, corners, and transitions
- multiple coats if needed for richness
- uniform tone across the full area
PEACE OF MIND
Durable Protection for a Lasting Finish
Once your chosen stain is applied, it’s sealed with a premium protective coating. We use two-component (2K) lacquers or oils to ensure your floors not only look stunning but are protected against wear and moisture. We also offer options like Pall-X Zero for a VOC-free, ultra-durable finish or Magic Oil 2K for a breathable, natural look.
- high-performance lacquers or oils
- VOC-free and eco-friendly options available
- seals in colour to prevent fading
- finishes in matte, semi-gloss, or ultra-matte
- suited for homes, offices, and commercial use

Floorboard Staining London
Our floorboard staining services in London are designed to bring out the best in your wood flooring. Whether you’re after a warm walnut tone, a rich dark oak, or a Scandinavian-inspired whitewash, we offer expert guidance and professional application using high-quality stain systems. All finishes are sealed with a durable oil or lacquer to keep your floor looking great for years to come.
Staining Floorboards After Sanding
Staining is always carried out after the floor has been professionally sanded to remove old coatings and prepare the wood. Our process ensures the grain is opened up, allowing the stain to penetrate deeply and evenly. This results in a rich, consistent colour across the floor with no blotching or mismatched areas.
Choosing the Right Colour for Your Space
We provide on-site stain tests so you can see how different colours look under your natural and artificial lighting. From soft greys to deep chocolate tones, we work with you to find the perfect shade to complement your home or business. We use trusted brands like Pallmann, Rubio Monocoat, and Blanchon to achieve beautiful results with every job.
Professional Wood Stain Application
Our team applies stains by hand or with buffing machines depending on the finish and floor type. Every step is controlled for evenness and depth. Once staining is complete, we apply a protective topcoat using 2K lacquer or oil to lock in colour and provide lasting protection.
Whitewashed and Scandinavian Floor Finishes
If you love the Scandinavian look, we can create a light, washed-out finish using a white oil-based primer and ultra-matte 2K lacquer. This method gives the wood a pale, natural tone without compromising durability, making it ideal for busy homes or bright minimalist interiors.
Eco-Friendly Wood Staining Options
For those concerned with indoor air quality and sustainability, we offer VOC-free options like Pallmann Pall-X Zero systems. These systems produce no harmful emissions and are safe for use in homes with children, pets, or allergy sensitivities while still providing a strong and protective finish.

FAQs
Most floorboards can be stained, including pine, oak, and engineered wood. However, results vary depending on the type of wood and its natural tone. We always carry out sample tests to ensure the desired finish is achievable.
Yes, sanding is essential before staining. It removes old finishes and opens the grain, allowing the stain to penetrate evenly and create a smooth, consistent colour.
No, stain is purely aesthetic. The durability comes from the protective topcoat applied after staining, such as 2K lacquer or hardwax oil. We always finish the floor with a durable sealant to protect the colour and surface.
Absolutely. We provide a wide range of colours from trusted brands like Pallmann and Rubio Monocoat, and we test samples directly on your floor to help you decide with confidence.
Yes, if sealed correctly. We recommend using a 2K lacquer or durable oil system over the stain to protect it from wear, moisture, and daily foot traffic.
Staining usually takes 1 day, followed by drying and sealing. The entire process, including sanding and finishing, typically takes 2–3 days depending on the size and drying times.
Not immediately. Once stained, the floor needs time to dry before sealing. After the topcoat is applied, we advise light foot traffic after 6-12 hours and full use after 48–72 hours.
Oil finishes enhance the natural grain and offer a matte, breathable look. Lacquers create a surface film, available in matte or semi-gloss. Both finishes require some maintenance.
