Timber Floor Polishing in Delhi NCR
A wooden floor does not fade from use alone; it dries out in summer and swells in the monsoon, and the finish wears in the walking lanes first. Sanding back to bare wood, filling the gaps and rebuilding the surface is what brings it back. Delhi NCR mixes very old housing stock with new high-rise towers, so a single visit can mean Kota stone in one room and Italian marble in the next. We carry pads for both and quote each surface on its own merit.

Use this list to compare any quote you receive, ours included. If a contractor skips the test patch or the handover walkthrough, the finish will show it within weeks.
After-care guidance is handed over in writing: which cleaner to use, how to mop, and what to avoid during the first week. Most repeat problems trace back to cleaning products rather than the work itself.
Protection is planned, not improvised. Furniture is moved to one side and covered, curtain hems are lifted, and a walking route is kept clear throughout so the household can still move around.
Access is confirmed before the visit: parking, lift use, gate entry, working-hour restrictions and any society paperwork. Sorting this in advance is what stops a scheduled job from becoming a wasted trip.

Timber Floor Polishing - common questions
Will sanding fill the house with dust?
We sand with dust control and mask doorways, skirting and furniture. A fine settling of dust nearby is normal in any sanding job, and we wipe the work area before handover.
How long before we can use the floor?
PU and lacquer floors are walkable after 24 hours and ready for furniture after 48. Melamine dries in 12-24 hours. Oil finishes can be walked on almost immediately but need re-oiling twice a year.
How often does a wooden floor need refinishing?
Homes every 6-10 years; offices and cafes every 3-5 years, or sooner if the walking lanes turn pale while the edges still look fine.
Can water stains and swollen boards be fixed?
Light black water marks and grey patches sand out. Boards that have cupped or gone spongy usually need replacing, and we identify those during the free inspection.
What should I check before paying?
That every surface you were quoted for has been finished, that edges and corners are not dull, that joints are clean and that the waste has been removed. Walk the floor with the crew still present, not after they leave.
Do you provide a written scope?
Yes. Surface by surface, with rate and scope, plus any optional items listed separately. Nothing is added after the work starts unless you approve a change.
Is a test patch really necessary?
It is the cheapest insurance on the job. One tile or a corner shows you the real result before you commit the whole floor.
