Beautiful work and craftsmanship

Beautiful work and craftsmanship - I am so pleased with my new floors! I Aliber was brilliant to work with - really good at communicating and checking that I was happy. Would highly recommend.

Abi — thank you for the lovely review.

We’re thrilled you’re so pleased with the finish. Aliber will be delighted to hear your kind words about his communication and care — he takes real pride in making sure everything’s just as you want it.

Quick aftercare tip to keep the floors looking their best: felt pads on furniture, a good entrance mat, wipe spills promptly, and a light damp (not wet) mop now and then. If you ever want advice on maintenance, we’re here.

Thanks again for the wholehearted recommendation.

Bobi and Valentin from Mr Sander in…

Bobi and Valentin from Mr Sander in Aylesbury came over to sand and restore my very old floor boards (possibly 250 years old). They did an astonishing job. Completely transformed them, I can't believe how well they have turned out. I can't recommend them enough. Also lovely chaps who are incredibly polite and conscientious.

Colin — thank you for the wonderful review.

We’re delighted to hear your (very possibly 250-year-old!) floorboards in Aylesbury have been so beautifully transformed. Bobi and Valentin will be chuffed to bits with your praise — they’re as polite and conscientious as they come, and they’ll be thrilled you’re so pleased with the result.

For aftercare: add felt pads to furniture, use a good entrance mat, wipe spills promptly, and give the boards a light damp (not wet) clean now and then. When the time’s right, we can advise on a quick maintenance coat to keep them looking their best.

Thanks again for the wholehearted recommendation.

Better than we could have imagined!

This was the second time we asked Aliber to sand a floor. He'd done a great job on our living room floor, but this was the hallway - it was very stained and worn from years of use. But it looks every bit as good as the living room. Both floors in fact look far better than when we first had them sanded when we moved in, over 20 years ago. Aliber is polite, friendly, punctual and very neat and tidy. We recommend him without hesitation.

Deborah, thank you so much for the lovely review.

We’re delighted the hallway has come up beautifully and matches your living room — especially after all those years of wear. Aliber will be thrilled to hear your kind words about his punctuality, friendliness and tidy workmanship.

If you’d like any aftercare tips (felt pads, a decent entrance mat, and a light damp mop now and then), we’re here to help. And when the time’s right, we can advise on a quick maintenance coat to keep both floors looking top-notch.

Warmest thanks for inviting us back and for the wholehearted recommendation.

What a fantastic experience

What a fantastic experience! I had the engineered wood floor in my new flat sanded and lacquered by Alberto, as the existing floor was very worn. Quote was arranged rapidly and Alberto then managed to fit my job in within a couple of weeks, before my furniture arrived, which was a fantastic help. He was exceptionally careful at the corners and edges so that I need to touch up only a couple of spots on the skirting boards. He explained how to wash and take care of the wood floor so that it lasts longer, when to get it sanded and lacquered again and even advised me how I could sand and re-oil my kitchen worktop myself. I’m delighted with the outcome and will certainly be going back to Mr Sander and Alberto when my floor needs attention again.

Alberto is excellent

Alberto was excellent. From the first visit he was polite, thoughtful and knowledgeable. When it came to doing the work his communication about options and what would happen when was clear and allowed us to make decisions and carry on with life while the work went on. Alberto is skilled, diligent, trustworthy and likeable. We would absolutely recommend and plan to contact him for any similar future work.

Over the Moon with my floor

While there was an administrative oversight with the initial appointment being booked I cannot fault Mr Sander, and in particular Lee Curd for the work that was undertaken with my floor. Having had downstairs redecorated I made a last minute decision to have the floor sanded and re-waxed/polished. While I had contacted some local companies none of them could commit to completing the job in time for the delivery of my new sofas, which were arriving in 2 weeks. Lee arrived and I explained the timeline I was working to, he said it would be tight but he could juggle a few jobs around to accommodate me. Lee started the work a few days later and by the end of the first morning the floor already looked 100% better than it had ever done since it was new almost 15 years ago. Even when I changed my mind about the polish finish Lee was accommodating and wanted me to be happy with the end product. In summary I was over the moon with the finished floor and Lee was extremely helpful and accommodating and clearly takes pride in his work. All in all I had a very positive experience.

He takes real pride in his work, and it shows in the care he gives to every detail. We're especially glad we could make the process smooth and that you're over the moon with the final result. It was an absolute pleasure to be part of your home transformation.

Can’t recommend Alex, Alan and team highly enough!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Alex, Alan, and their wonderful team to restore my original floorboards, and I can't recommend them highly enough! From start to finish, they were an absolute delight to work with.

Their politeness and kindness stood out, making the entire process smooth and enjoyable. They were incredibly professional, always tidy, and respectful of my home, my family, and my working environment. I appreciated how they took the time to listen to my vision and consulted with me throughout the project, ensuring that my preferences were taken into account.

What truly impressed me was their flexibility. They worked around my schedule, moving furniture with ease and providing thoughtful recommendations without ever being pushy. It was evident that they genuinely cared about my satisfaction.

If you're looking for a helpful, friendly, and professional service, look no further! I would not hesitate to recommend Alex, Alan, and their team to anyone in need of floor restoration services.

THANK YOU - one delighted customer

French polisher is a magician

French polisher is a magician. I needed a patch repair on my oak engineered floors - pretty much everyone said that this couldn't be done and that I'd need to get the whole floor refinished if it was possible at all. Josh is a magician and totally remedied the problem in half a day without any disruption at all, taking care to make sure it looked good from all angles. You'd never know that work was done unless you were actively looking for it, and it should get better as time goes by. Patch floor repair seems to be a service that is quite hard to find. It's not cheap as such, but once you factor in the costs of moving furniture, renting an airbnb for a night or two... it really is so much cheaper and less hassle. Obviously will recommend to others! Mr Sander were really good about being proactively in contact too.

Avoid if you want repairs

The initial contact was good, I was updated carefully by the admin team.
On the day of the appointment, I was told that a different contractor would be coming. It was my understanding that the original person was in the install team, however the one who actually came was from the sanding division, so not ideal.

I booked a half day morning off work - my appointment was for between 10-12. At about 1230 I called the company to ask where the contractor was. The lady gave me his number, saying she would call and find out, and that I should too. I mistakenly assumed she would call first, and then call me back to let me know why the contractor was delayed but this didn't happen.
I then called him myself around 1300 to ask what was happening. Apparently, he had me in the 1330-1530 slot!
This was very frustrating as I work zero hours and depend on every hour of work, so I was unable to work the afternoon and lost half a day's wages.

The contractor was, to his credit, very apologetic, said it was his fault and came as quickly as he could, probably around 2pm.

In 1 minute, he already said the entire floor needing lifting and reinstalling, and was promoting sanding.
After my probing him, he offered other solutions, saying he was a sanding contractor, not a repair contractor. He left saying he would speak with the correct contractors for their opinion, and the company would email me back.

To date, I have heard nothing - the appt was 19 Aug and here we are 10 days later.

I have yet to find a company that actually offers solutions rather than the bog standard 'rip it all up, use our new flooring (nothing is damaged or broken) and pay us £££.'

Avoid this company unless you want sanding done.

2 stars because the admin lady was helpful and the second contractor was apologetic.

Dear May,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience — we’re truly sorry to hear how things unfolded. It’s clear we let you down, and we completely understand your frustration, especially given the inconvenience to your schedule and the lack of follow-up after your appointment.

You were right to expect clear communication and a visit from the right specialist, and we apologise for the mix-up and the delay. We also should have followed up with you promptly after the visit — that was our responsibility, and we regret not doing so.

We’re grateful that you recognised the efforts of our admin team and the technician’s apology on the day. However, we know this doesn’t make up for your time lost or the lack of repair guidance you needed. This is not the level of service we aim to provide.

If you're still open to it, we’d appreciate the chance to make this right and connect you with the appropriate expert to assess your flooring properly. Please feel free to contact us directly at info@mrsander.co.uk or call us on 0800 955 8585.
