What you're paying for
Sand + recoat scope, written out.
Single-coat refresh vs full sand-and-multi-coat — two very different jobs. We tell you which one your floor needs.
What we do
In scope
- Site assessment — check parquet type, varnish layer thickness, damage depth
- Furniture moved + skirting protected — by us, not you
- Coarse sand pass (40–60 grit) — strips old varnish back to bare timber
- Medium sand pass (80–100 grit) — smooths out coarse scratch lines
- Fine sand pass (120–150 grit) — final timber surface, ready for varnish
- Gap-filler on cracked boards — colour-matched, dried, sanded flush
- Vacuum + tack cloth wipe — no dust in the first varnish coat
- Sealer / base coat — bonds to timber, primes for finish coats
- 2–3 finish coats — matte, satin, or gloss (your pick)
- Inter-coat sand (between coats) — smooth, knock back any nibs
- Furniture moved back + cleanup — reset to where it was
What's NOT included
Quote separately
- Replacement of warped, water-damaged, or rotted boards
- Re-laying lifted parquet (full or partial)
- Engineered / laminate floor (different system — cannot be sanded the same way)
- Skirting / wall paint touch-up after the job
How a parquet job runs
Strip, sand, fill, varnish.
Sequence matters — sanding wet parquet rips fibres; varnishing dusty parquet traps grit forever.
Smooth + fill
Medium (80–100) then fine (120–150) sand passes flatten the timber surface. Gap-filler into cracked boards, colour-matched. Sanded flush.
Vacuum + sealer coat
Industrial vacuum + tack cloth so no dust gets trapped. Sealer / base coat bonds to bare timber and primes for finish coats.
2–3 finish coats
Light inter-coat sand between coats to knock back nibs. Your pick of matte, satin, or gloss. Full cure time given before furniture goes back.
What parquet varnishing fixes
Three damage patterns we reset.
Scratches, sun fade, surface wear. Each gets a different sand depth — we don't over-sand.
Pattern 01
Surface wear + dullness.
Foot traffic + UV slowly strip the varnish gloss. Light single-coat refresh restores the protective layer without full sand-down.
Pattern 02
Scratches + scuffs.
Furniture drag, pet claws, dropped objects. Coarse-to-fine sand pass removes the damage layer, multi-coat varnish goes back over the fresh timber.
Pattern 03
Sun fade + colour patches.
UV bleaches exposed parquet — you see lighter patches where the sun hits. Sanding back to bare timber evens the tone before varnish goes on.

When you need it
Single-coat refresh or full sand-and-coat — how do I know?
Single-coat refresh: when the varnish is dull but intact, with no deep scratches or bare-timber patches. Light buff + one coat restores the protective layer. Full sand-and-coat: when you can see scratch marks, sun-faded patches, water staining, or worn-through patches of bare timber. We send a tech to assess, or you send photos.
How often does parquet need re-varnishing?
Heavy-use rooms (living, dining): single-coat refresh every 2–3 years, full sand-and-coat every 7–10 years. Light-use rooms: single-coat every 4–5 years, full sand every 10–15 years.
My parquet has water damage in one corner — can you fix that?
If the damage is surface staining and the boards are flat: yes, sanding back will lift most of it. If boards have warped, lifted, or rotted underneath: those boards need replacement first by a parquet specialist, then we varnish over.
During the job
How long does it take?
Single-coat refresh: 1 day. Full sand-and-3-coat single room: 2–3 days (includes cure time between coats). Full unit (1000+ sqft): 4–6 days. Don't compress this — varnish needs cure time or the finish fails.
Is it dusty? Can we stay in the unit?
Modern drum sanders have built-in vacuum extraction — very low dust compared to old-school sanders. But during sanding days you can't use the room. During varnish-cure days you can't walk on the floor for 8–24 hours after each coat. Most clients stay elsewhere for full-unit jobs.
What's the smell like?
Water-based polyurethane varnish (our default): mild solvent smell, clears in 24 hours. Oil-based (on request, harder finish): stronger smell, ventilate for 48 hours.
After the job
How long until I can walk on it / put furniture back?
Walk on (socks): 8 hours after final coat. Light shoes: 24 hours. Furniture: 48 hours. Rugs: 7 days (full cure). Heavy traffic should wait 2–3 days.
