About this service
Why choose us for Floor Sanding in Exeter?
Exeter's older Victorian and Edwardian properties are often sitting on original hardwood or softwood floorboards hidden under carpet for decades. When those boards are uncovered, they're typically in far better condition than expected: a few scratches, some gaps, a rough and faded surface, but structurally sound and absolutely worth restoring. Our floor sanding service removes splinters, staining, and years of wear, bringing back the natural beauty of the timber. We use low-dust machinery throughout, sand and repair damaged boards, fill gaps where needed, and finish with the oil or lacquer of your choice: matt, satin, or gloss. Engineered wood floors can often be lightly sanded and refinished rather than replaced, which saves significant cost. We assess your floor honestly during the free home visit and tell you exactly what is and isn't possible before any work begins.

The service from the initial meeting to the final installation was fantastic. It was important to us that the person selling the product was the same person fitting it; this knowledge and experience makes all the difference.

Where we work
Floor Sanding across Exeter and surrounding areas
We carry out floor sanding and restoration throughout Exeter and the surrounding area. We're particularly busy in the older parts of the city (St Thomas, Heavitree, Polsloe, Topsham, Pennsylvania, Alphington, and Newtown) where period properties are most likely to have original hardwood or softwood boards beneath carpets. Many of Exeter's Victorian and Edwardian terraces have floors that haven't been touched in decades, and the results of a professional sand and finish can be genuinely transformative. We also cover Exmouth, Dawlish, and Teignmouth. If you've recently lifted a carpet and found boards underneath, contact us for a free home visit and honest assessment.
