School Floor Sanding Manchester
School floors work hard. One minute it’s PE, the next it’s an assembly, and by evening the hall’s hosting a parents’ event. We help schools keep those wooden surfaces safe, smart and ready for whatever the timetable throws at them. Based in Manchester, we handle school floor sanding across Greater Manchester day-to-day—and we take on larger sports hall projects across the North West and, when needed, further afield.
Nationwide School & Sports Hall Projects
While most of our daily work is in Greater Manchester, our team regularly delivers large school and sports hall sanding projects across the UK. We plan around term dates, travel with dust-control equipment, and provide the same careful preparation and high-performance finishes wherever you are.
We start with a straightforward site visit. We check the condition of the boards, look for loose blocks or gaps, talk through timings, and agree on a plan that fits around term dates. On the day, our dust-control kit keeps the rest of the building clean while we sand, repair, and refinish. For most halls we’ll recommend tough, sports-grade coatings from the likes of Bona, Osmo, or Junckers; they stand up to footfall, chair legs, and regular cleaning without losing their sheen.
Some jobs are simple—light sanding and fresh lacquer. Others need more care. Where the floor is moving underfoot or blocks have lifted, we’ll make repairs before we touch a sander. Our team is used to the fiddly bits too: matching old timber, blending in parquet repairs so they disappear into the pattern, and filling gaps so the surface is even and safe.
Although this page is about schools, the same principles apply in busy venues. If you’re looking after a civic hall or a multi-use sports space, you might also find our commercial wood floor sanding useful—we routinely work overnight or during closures to keep disruption to a minimum.
Sometimes a hall needs more than sanding. Water damage, heavy wear, or previous DIY finishes can leave a surface patchy. In those cases we’ll talk through options for full wood floor restoration and, if you want to change the look, wood floor varnishing or oils in a tone that suits the space. We’ll show samples on the actual floor so you can see how it will look in your light.
Most of our school projects are in Manchester—Salford, Stockport, Trafford and the surrounding towns—but we’re often asked to travel for larger sports halls. If you’re outside Greater Manchester, that’s fine: tell us your dates and we’ll see what’s possible.
If you landed here while researching options for your home or workplace rather than a school, our main Floor Sanding Manchester page is a good place to start; it covers domestic rooms and commercial spaces in detail.
Ready to talk through your hall? Call 0161 945 8475 or send a quick note via the contact page. We’ll arrange a site visit, give clear timings and costs, and leave you with a floor that’s smooth, tough and easy to look after.

Manchester’s School Flooring Contractors—Specialists in School Hall & Wood Floor Sanding
We’re a small Manchester-based team who spend much of our time bringing tired school floors back to life. Some weeks it’s a sports hall that’s been dulled by years of PE lessons; other times it’s a classroom block where the original timber has been hidden under layers of varnish. Wherever we are, the aim’s the same — a floor that’s smooth, safe, and looks the part.
Although a lot of our work is for schools, we also take on commercial wood floor sanding in Manchester for hotels, shops, and community venues. Whether it’s a small primary school or a sprawling university campus, every project gets the same care and attention. With the right prep, the right finish, and a bit of craftsmanship, a floor can often look better than the day it was first laid.
