Oak Floor Sanding Harrogate

Oak floor sanding Harrogate

Dark stain and Hardwax oil finish

We’ve just completed a floor sanding project in Harrogate for our customer, Terri, who reached out to us to restore her solid oak living room and dining room floors. The floor had been previously sanded and stained, but the results weren’t to our customer’s satisfaction. Fortunately, with it being a solid oak floor, we were able to rectify the issues and give it a fresh new look, thanks to the depth of the wood allowing for another sanding pass.

We began by using a 40-grit belt sander to remove the thick, uneven stain and flatten the floor as much as possible. From there, we moved through progressively finer grits with the orbital sander—40, 60, 80, and finally 100 grit—to achieve a smooth and even finish. We ensured the edges were sanded in the same method, taking extra care in the corners and tricky areas with detailed sanding. All of our machines are equipped with dustless extraction to keep the work area as clean as possible, minimizing disruption in the home.

To enhance the natural beauty of the oak and darken the wood, we applied Osmo Terra stain. This was buffed into the grain, bringing out the rich character of the oak and leaving a warm, textured appearance. After the stain had dried overnight, we sealed the floor with a clear coat of Osmo Satin Clear to provide long-lasting protection and a beautiful finish.

We’re extremely happy with how the floor turned out—full of character, well-protected, and ready for years of use.
