Strippers Flooring

Strippers Flooring One of the leading professional floor sanding, finishing and restoration businesses. Est. 1998. We will make your old or unloved floors amazing again.

Welcome to Strippers Flooring – Professional wood floor-sanding, restoration and finishing company throughout Cornwall, Brighton, Hove and Sussex

Bring back the beauty of your wooden floors with our experience and expertise. Whatever their condition or setting, we’ll give them the care, craft and love they deserve, whether it’s a home, business, hotel, gallery, museum or rental property. We have

become Cornwall’s market leaders in the last 20 years, and now we’re serving the whole of Sussex too, with a base in Brighton & Hove. WHY CHOOSE US? Because you are about to embark on a major investment; you're entitled to expect long-lasting beauty and a meticulous approach to restoring and adding value to your property. So we never cut corners or sub-contract; we only use the highest quality products and the latest, 99% dust-free sanding technology, and our process is painstaking. While wood is obviously the heart of what we do, our overall approach is rigorous and comprehensive. We take care of everything. From first assessment and covering walkways, through floor-preparation and taking moisture readings, to remedying loose or damaged boards: our attention to detail matches the quality of our products and the craft which we constantly hone. And that’s before we even begin. Once floors have been stripped and sanded to remove the old finish, we gradually sand, from aggressive to finer grades, ending with a smooth finish which is usually the result of at least five grades of abrasive, gap-filling – if required – as we go, cleaning between each grade, using rotary disc sanders to remove scratch patterns. Nothing is overlooked, whether it’s in corners, behind radiators, around thresholds. If it means scraping by hand, that’s what we do, whatever it takes. We never rush the finishing, allowing the correct time for coats to dry, sanding between coats where necessary, to achieve the perfect finish. Before we leave, we advise on how best to care for your floors, both short- and long-term. Throughout the process, we respect the space in which we work as well as your time; we’ve held the Which? Trusted Trader kitemark since 2014 and are certified Bona contractors.

It might just look like a pile of boards.. but they are neatly stacked according to width, been denailed and ready for a pretty complicated restoration of this hallway. The joists are almost non existent in parts with a plethora of various pipes and cables clogging up everything. Stay tuned for the results.

Back in Brighton to complete the second phase of this incredible project in Sussex Square. January will always be spent in Cornwall working on a range of commercial projects as it’s a quiet time and everyone has time to shut down for a while.

So this was our first project of 2026, refurbishment of the Council Chamber at St. Ives Guildhall. It’s all part of a new development that wil give the guildhall a modern and exciting new venue due later this year.
Check out the before photos…

These 3 wonderful paintings of St Ives sit in the St. Ives Council Chamber and Guildhall which we have just renovated as part of a huge refurbishment project. I’m very proud to play our part in a town where the council was founded in 1639….almost 400 years ago. In some ways St Ives is the spiritual home of St*****rs Flooring having lived here for many years. . In the nearly 30 years we have been going and working all across Cornwall and Sussex there are hundreds of of properties that we have helped have a new lease of life within a short distance of this famous fishing town.
As we start 2026 I hope to share more than usual on our projects all across Cornwall and Sussex.

Classic before and after.
What we love about these images is that the ‘afters’ show a real floor used by real people. No professional photos that show an idealised view, just floors that are part of a family house that will be crawled on by babies, played on by kids, have wine spilt by parents!
It’s what we do, and we do it very well.
Help you create your perfect version of your home.
If you are looking for the same approach then get in touch.

Not used to seeing my face in my inbox! Thanks to .uk again for the support and a lovely reminder of winning a CFJ Award last September, although it’s my daughter receiving the award as I couldn’t make it!!
I’d recommend all of you professionals to enter for 2025….

I need to talk about this pub.
It may be the oldest pub in town but they are constantly improving/refurbing and simply taking care of this gem of a pub. Every year we go in to refurbish the hardwood block floor in the bar and give it a fresh top coat reading for thousands of customers for the following year. In the last few years we see the same faces in the kitchen and bar and there’s a real sense of community that has been lost from so many pubs. Immaculate kitchens knocking out fab food. Go visit!!

Our clients are often amazed at what can be done when you get the professionals in. It’s literally a new floor. We tell them what to expect but it’s when they see it they believe you! This holiday let in Cornwall is really for 2025. If you have a property in Cornwall that needs smartening up then give us a call.

(This image is actually after coat two prior to a final coat).

You know the drill on these before and afters!
First image shows a section where we have just started sanding to show the contrast.
It’s not often we can’t get these floors looking literally brand new.

Back to good old bread and butter before and afters!

This floor had a dead Matt invisible commercial grade finish to cope with what ever like throws its way….

First time back in St Ives since we won the CFJ Award last week and reflecting that in many ways this is the heart of the business and its base for many years since 2001. Although now split between here and Hove it was out of St Ives that the business grew covering all of Cornwall and from 2020, Sussex.
It’s still a view that inspires and helps us stay motivated. Can’t even begin to guess how many properties we have worked in with a one mile radius of that view (even with most of it at sea!)

Still reflecting on winning the 2024 Flooring Industry Award in the Residential Refurbishment category.

When you have been in the business for over 26 years getting an accolade like this shows that we still know our onions!

We are always trying to innovate and simply refuse to compromise on quality. Also shows the strength of building relationships such as the one we have with .uk that has been going for over quarter of a century!

Some of the shots of the day with & and my daughter . I unfortunately couldn’t make the day.
