Dust-Free Wood Floor Sanding & Restoration in the West Midlands
Restoration is not about making a wood floor look new; it is about revealing the character that already exists. At Eldgrén, we specialise in the restoration of pine floorboards, solid oak, and parquet, stripping back layers of age to return clarity and warmth to your home.
We work across Birmingham, Solihull, and the West Midlands, using dust-free technology to ensure a clean process and a refined finish.
A Controlled, Dust-Free Sanding Process
Pine wood floorboards prior to sanding during preparation for restoration in Birmingham, West Midlands. The belt sander is used to remove existing finishes and level the surface before finishing.
We use modern, dust-controlled sanding equipment to minimise disruption and ensure a flawless surface. Our process is methodical: removing old finishes, flattening the floor, and refining the grain.
Where floors are damaged, we integrate wood floor repairs alongside the sanding process, replacing split boards or loose blocks before the final finish is applied.
Restoring the Character of Pine & Oak

Every type of flooring requires a different approach. We are experienced in handling the nuances of herringbone parquet, ensuring the geometry of the pattern is preserved during sanding.
For original Victorian pine floorboards, we focus on retaining the patina while removing years of grime, often using gap filling techniques to reduce draughts and create a more uniform surface.
Protective Finishes: Hardwax Oils & Lacquers

Once sanded, the wood must be protected. We avoid harsh, plastic-looking varnishes, preferring high-quality hardwax oils and lacquers that allow the wood to breathe.
Hardwax Oils: Penetrate the wood for a natural, matte look that is easy to maintain.
Lacquers: Provide a durable surface layer, ideal for higher traffic areas.

Wood Floor Sanding for Traditional and Contemporary Interiors
Restored pine floorboards in Selly Oak, Birmingham, following sanding, filling, staining and finished with a water based lacquer to revive tone and grain.
Our sanding and restoration services are suitable for both traditional properties and contemporary interiors. Whether working with original floorboards, parquet flooring, or modern hardwood installations, our approach remains the same: careful assessment, attention to detail, and finishes chosen to support long-term performance.
Where floors show movement, damage, or localised wear, wood floor repairs can be carried out alongside sanding to ensure the surface is properly stabilised before restoration continues. Each floor is treated as a working material, restored to sit naturally within its space.
Wood Floor Sanding for Homes, Designers, and Commercial Spaces
We work with private homeowners, interior designers, and commercial clients across the West Midlands and surrounding areas, delivering wood floor sanding and restoration with clear communication and careful planning. Each project is managed to minimise disruption while maintaining a high standard of finish. The result is a restored floor that feels intentional, well-resolved, and built to last.
