Professional Yacht Floor Sanding and Restoration
Yacht deck sanding is a meticulous restorative art that carefully removes the worn, weathered surface of your teak or holy wood to reveal the pristine grain beneath. This is not a simple refinishing job; it is an act of preservation against the harsh marine environment. Using specialized, dust-contained equipment, we expertly erase years of sun damage, salt stains, and wear, while honouring the deck's original craftsmanship and elegant non-slip properties.
This crucial procedure does more than just restore visual beauty—it revives the deck's structural integrity and seal, ensuring it can withstand the relentless demands of sun, saltwater, and foot traffic for voyages to come. Furthermore, a professionally sanded and sealed surface is essential for the proper application of premium marine-grade oils or caulking, creating a flawless foundation for a finish that is both breathtaking and built to last.
For the discerning yacht owner, professional sanding and restoration is the most significant step in preserving both the value and the legacy of your vessel's original decks, ensuring their story continues on the open water for generations.
Preparation for sanding
A flawless deck restoration depends on perfect preparation. Our meticulous process honors your yacht's prized teak, ensuring a beautiful, seaworthy finish.
- Expert Coating & Caulk Removal: We carefully strip old finishes using methods that protect the original wood and delicate seams.
- Deep Cleaning: The deck is scrubbed with specialized solvents to remove all salt, grime, and residue, creating a perfectly clean base.
- Detailed Inspection: Every plank and seam is assessed for damage. We repair your original teak, only replacing wood if structurally necessary.
- Strategic Sanding: A custom sanding plan levels the wood and progresses to finer grits for a smooth, appropriately non-slip surface.
This rigorous preparation safeguards your deck's structure and is the essential first step toward a stunning, durable restoration built for the marine environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
I’m not sure if I need a floor repair. Can you inspect my wood floor?
Of course. We are a trustworthy company that always acts with integrity. We’ll visit your property to inspect your wooden floorboards thoroughly and give you our honest assessment.
Do I need to provide any materials?
While we don’t provide flooring, we do source and procure replacement boards and all the related materials. Once you hire us to repair your wooden flooring, you can sit back and relax.
What does your wood floor repair service include?
The short answer is everything required to make your wood floor safe, even and presentable. This includes fixing floorboards into place, repairing minor cracks and gaps will filling materials and providing all the necessary materials.
Can you repair floorboards?
Yes, this is our preferred method of wooden flooring repair. We use a range of equipment and the very best finishing products to restore boards to their original condition. But when the damage is too extensive, we’ll be honest and upfront with you.
How do you replace just a few floorboards?
We can lift individual floorboards up when they’re beyond repair. We have access to hundreds of products, so we’ll find the closest possible match to ensure your entire floor looks as if it were laid afresh on that day.
How do you fix a water damaged parquet floor?
We start by identifying the source of the damage. Once that has been addressed, we identify the affected area and assess each parquet block for damage. The affected area is dried out, and replacement parquet blocks are used to fill the gaps. We’ll always do everything we can to salvage water-damaged blocks, but they’re often warped beyond repair.
Can you repair a hole in a wood floor?
It all depends on the size and nature of the whole. In many cases, removing a hole involves replacing the damaged boards responsible for it. But if the hole is small, a wood filler might do the job.
Can you replace just a few floorboards?
Yes, absolutely! In fact, we do this all the time. It’s rarely necessary to replace every floorboard on a floor. We assess each board individually for serious damage and wear and tear. And wherever possible, we repair rather than replace.

So impressed with this company, we thought our floor was damaged beyond repair but David has restored it to better than new.
He also helped us get a colour we were happier with by adding a white stain before applying the varnish.
Towards the end of the day we had to leave for an event and David even locked up for us! Really excellent service all round, thank you!
