Questions

Commercial Wood Floor Restoration FAQs

Can work be completed outside normal hours?

Where practical, commercial floor restoration can be planned around access, closures and operational requirements. We will discuss scheduling during the site assessment.

How long does commercial floor sanding take?

Timescale depends on the floor size, repairs, finish system, drying time and access. Larger halls or public buildings often need careful scheduling.

Are your sanding systems dust controlled?

Yes. We use dust-controlled sanding systems designed to reduce airborne dust and disruption compared with traditional sanding methods.

Which finishes do you recommend for commercial floors?

The best finish depends on traffic levels, slip requirements, cleaning routines and the timber type. We recommend finishes based on the floor condition and use.

Can damaged commercial floors be repaired?

Many commercial timber floors can be repaired before sanding and refinishing, including localised damage, gaps, loose parquet and worn areas.

How often should commercial floors be restored?

This depends on traffic, cleaning, finish type and maintenance. Busy halls, schools and hospitality venues may need planned maintenance more often than lighter-use spaces.

Do you work in schools and public buildings?

Yes. WoodXpert works with commercial and public-use spaces including schools, halls, community buildings, churches, offices and venues.

Can you provide site visits and quotations?

Yes. For commercial projects, a site visit is often the best way to assess condition, access, scheduling and finish requirements before quoting.
