Service
Buffing & Maintenance Recoats
Refresh a tired lacquered or oiled floor without a full sand.
Overview
If your floor's finish is dull or lightly worn but the timber itself isn't damaged, a buff and recoat can bring it back to life for a fraction of the cost of full sanding. The surface is cleaned and buffed to give the new coat something to grip, then a fresh coat of lacquer or oil is applied. Our buffing machine is also used for fine sanding between coats on full restorations.
- Less time and cost than full sanding
- Restores sheen and protection
- Extends the life of your floor
- Ideal for regular maintenance

FAQs
Buffing & Maintenance Recoats questions
How do I know if I need a full sand?
If there are deep scratches, grey worn patches or bare wood showing, a full sand is usually needed. If it's just dull, a recoat may be enough – we'll tell you honestly.
