Floor Sanding & Refinishing Dublin
Transform worn, scratched, and tired wooden floors with our professional dustless sanding and refinishing service. Dublin's most experienced floor sanding team.
Over time, even the finest wooden floors lose their lustre. Scratches accumulate, the finish wears thin, and what was once a stunning feature becomes tired and dull. Floor sanding and refinishing restores your floors to their original beauty — or even better.
At Wooden Floors Dublin, we use advanced dustless sanding technology that captures 98% of dust at source. This means minimal disruption to your home and no dust cloud settling on every surface. Our sanding process is thorough but gentle, removing the old finish without damaging the wood beneath.
After sanding, we offer a full range of finishing options: oil, lacquer, wax, staining, and colour treatments. Whether you want a natural matt look, a high-gloss shine, or a complete colour change, our finishing team delivers a flawless result.
Floor sanding is one of the most cost-effective ways to transform a room. Instead of replacing your floors (which costs 3-5x more), sanding brings them back to life in 1-3 days. It's also the most sustainable choice — you're restoring what's already there rather than sending it to landfill.
Our Process
Assessment
We inspect your floors, identify the wood type and condition, check for moisture and structural issues, and recommend the best approach.
Dustless Sanding
Using professional-grade dustless sanders, we remove the old finish and any imperfections. Multiple grits are used progressively for a perfectly smooth surface.
Gap Filling & Repairs
Any gaps between boards are filled with a colour-matched filler. Damaged boards are repaired or replaced as needed.
Finishing
Your chosen finish is applied — oil, lacquer, wax, or stain. Multiple coats ensure durability and a beautiful result. Typical drying time: 24-48 hours.

How long does floor sanding take?
A typical room (15-20 sqm) takes 1-2 days including finishing. The sanding itself takes a few hours; most of the time is finish application and drying between coats.
Is dustless sanding really dustless?
Our equipment captures approximately 98% of dust at source through industrial vacuum extraction. It's not 100% dust-free, but the difference compared to traditional sanding is dramatic. You won't need to deep-clean your entire home afterwards.
How often should wooden floors be sanded?
Most wooden floors need sanding every 7-15 years, depending on traffic levels and the type of finish. Oil-finished floors may need refreshing every 3-5 years, while lacquered floors can go longer between sandings.
Can you sand engineered wood floors?
Yes, but with limitations. Most engineered wood has a 3-6mm top layer that can be sanded 1-3 times. We assess the wear layer thickness before proceeding and advise accordingly.
What finish is best for high-traffic areas?
For high-traffic areas like hallways and living rooms, we recommend a multi-coat polyurethane lacquer (satin or matt). It's the most durable option and easiest to maintain. For a more natural feel, hardwax oil is a popular alternative that's easy to spot-repair.
