Product Description
Sandpaper
Sandpaper is abrasive paper used to smooth wood, rub down old paint and get surfaces ready for painting or varnishing. It suits everyday DIY jobs, furniture makeovers and small repairs around the home.
What Sandpaper Is Used For
Sandpaper wears away a thin layer of a surface so it feels smoother and takes paint or varnish more evenly.
- Smoothing rough edges after cutting or sawing wood
- Rubbing down old paint or varnish before a fresh coat
- Lightly scuffing glossy surfaces so new paint grips better
- Smoothing between coats of paint, varnish or wood stain
- Preparing a tired chair, shelf or table for a makeover
Tips for Sanding by Hand
Sanding works best when you go slowly and keep the pressure even. Wrap the sandpaper around a flat block so the surface stays level and your fingers do not leave dips.
On wood, sand in the same direction as the grain. Sanding across the grain can leave scratches that show up once you paint or stain. Wipe away the dust with a dry or slightly damp cloth before you start the next coat.
If you use more than one grit, start with a coarser one to remove old finish or rough patches. Then move to a finer one for a smooth finish.
Sandpaper Grit Explained
The grit number on sandpaper tells you how coarse it is. A lower number means a rougher paper that removes material faster. A higher number means a finer paper that leaves a smoother surface.
Many people keep a few different grits for a project, so a multipack is handy when you are working through several stages. Check the grit marked on the paper before you begin.
Sandpaper FAQ
Which way should I sand wood?
Sand along the grain, not across it. This leaves the surface smoother and avoids scratches that are hard to hide under paint or stain.
Do I need to sand before painting?
A light sand usually helps, especially on glossy or previously painted surfaces. It gives the new paint a slightly rougher surface to hold on to.
Does a higher grit number mean finer sandpaper?
Yes, a higher number means finer sandpaper. Lower numbers are coarser and are used for heavier work, such as stripping old paint.
Add sandpaper to your basket and have it ready for your next sanding or painting job.

We take great care when preparing and securely packing every order; however, during transportation, parcels may be handled by several parties, including the courier, and despite our best efforts, minor cosmetic damage such as dents, marks, scuffs or damage to external packaging may occasionally occur. Minor cosmetic damage that does not affect the product’s safety, quality or intended use will not normally be considered a product defect. This is particularly applicable to products supplied in cans, tins, plastic containers, boxes or similar packaging. If you receive a product that is broken, leaking, materially damaged, unsafe, unusable or otherwise not as described, please contact us within 24 Hours of delivery by email or telephone and provide your order number, details of the issue and clear photographs of the damaged product and packaging. We may require further information or evidence to investigate the matter and, where necessary, may take up to 14 days to complete our investigation. Where damage appears to have occurred during delivery, we may need to raise a claim with the courier, and you may be required to complete and return any Damage on Receipt (DOR) form or other documentation requested by the courier before the claim can be processed. Some products we sell are price-marked or display a manufacturer’s recommended or printed retail price. Please note that our online selling prices may differ from the price printed on the product because online orders involve additional costs such as picking, packing, packaging materials, warehouse handling, payment processing, website administration and delivery-related costs. You may therefore receive a product displaying a printed or recommended retail price that is lower than the price you paid online. The price you agree to pay is the online selling price displayed on our website at the time you place your order, and the presence of a lower printed or recommended retail price on the packaging does not, by itself, mean that the online purchase price was incorrect. Product images displayed on our website are for illustration and presentation purposes only. Actual product packaging, branding, design, colour, size, shape or appearance may vary depending on availability, manufacturer, batch or packaging updates. Such variations do not necessarily indicate that the product supplied is different from the product ordered, provided that the product itself corresponds to the description and specifications stated on the website. We ask customers to check their order and products as soon as reasonably possible after delivery and contact us promptly if there is any material damage, fault, incorrect item or issue with the goods. Nothing in this notice is intended to exclude, restrict or limit any statutory rights you may have under applicable UK consumer law.
