Floor Sanding Banbury

If you do decide to press ahead and get your wooden floorboards sanded down you will have to find the best people to accomplish it. A quick search on the net or in the local Banbury classifieds section will highlight several prospects. On the other hand, you could ask family or friends to recommend somebody. Doing floor sanding on your own is perhaps not advisable unless you are an accomplished DIYer, and even then you will have to hire some pretty decent equipment which could set you back a few quid.

Hiring a professional floor sanding company in Banbury should mean that the job will be done properly and with the minimum amount of mess and dust as possible. If you were to use your own little hand-held sanding machine you would quickly get dust everywhere throughout the house and it could take months to clear. When using professional sanding equipment all of the wood dust is sucked up by an efficient extraction system, leaving just a flawlessly smooth wood surface that can then be appropriately finished.

Companies such as: Pallmann, Bona, Lagler and Hummer produce professional floor sanding equipment, and most of these can of course be hired from tool hire providers around Banbury, and elsewhere in Oxfordshire, if you need one. If you're using a specialist floor sanding company for your venture, you will not need to be worried about that though. It is however worth bearing in mind if you do choose to do your own floors.

Even though it might not necessarily be essential, you should completely clear any rooms that need to be sanded. The floor sanding machines are rather bulky and whoever is doing the work needs to have enough room to swing it around. A clean, clear room will certainly make the entire process simpler, so if you're able to do this, the better it will be.

In order to get your newly sanded foor up to the required standard there will be some additional work to do before any sealing or finishing can take place. There could be some splits and cracks in the boards and also screw or nail holes, which will all need to be filled with a suitably coloured wood filler. The repaired areas will need to be given a final rub down with a fine-grade glasspaper to give that super fine finish.

The next task is to give the sanded flooring a goodly coat of sealer, Liberon or Ronseal is usually a decent choice. This provides you with a perfect base on which to brush the finishing varnish coats, and gives some additional protection against a number of issues which could affect your flooring in the future. This will guard against the harmful effects of alcohol, heat and water, and also help to stop scratching, scuffing and staining. Once dry, your floorboards can then be given a quick final sanding with smooth paper and finally 2 or 3 coats of finishing varnish.

When you're considering the process of sanding down your wooden flooring, you might start to wonder whether it is really worth all the dust, hard work and disruption. Before beginning such a process, it's always advisable to run through the pluses and minuses, to see which comes out on top. Once you have done this, you will certainly have a clearer picture of what you might gain by sanding your wooden floors. We've already pointed out the cons - sanding floors can involve a lot of dust, disruption and effort. But how about the pros?

• It's Easier to Keep a Polished Floor Clean: Worn and cracked floors tend to trap more dirt and dust, and after you've sanded down, sealed and polished those floorboards they'll be far simpler to clean and less inclined to harbour dust.
• Restores the Floor to its Former Glory: If you already have a hardwood floor that's been exposed and used for quite some time, it will probably be showing signs of wear and tear. The floor sanding and finishing process will restore the appeal and attractiveness that your flooring previously had.
• Discourages Pests: There'll be less places for bugs and pests to hide themselves when you have sanded and sealed your floorboards. Let's be honest these pests love to lurk in the cracks and chips of a timber floor.

Floor Restoration Banbury

Floor restoration comes in many forms, and does not invariably involve sanding to return a floor to its former splendour. An experienced Banbury floor restoration specialist will always have a thorough knowledge of the most effective methods for repairing a worn or damaged floor, regardless of whether it's made out of marble, concrete, wood or tiles.

Before any actual cosmetic floor restoration work commences, various processes such as decontamination, disinfection and dehumidification, may be necessary according to the state of the floor. Moisture can rapidly seep into imperfections and cracks in the flooring, in cases where there's been a leaky washing machine or water pipe, and problems can shortly start to emerge. Standing water that goes stagnant and remains in your flooring can easily stimulate the growth of bacteria, mould and mildew, none of which are acceptable guests. Expert floor restorers in Banbury know exactly how to take care of these issues without causing harm to the flooring or the property's residents. A good way to stop such things happening in the first place is to keep floors squeaky clean and check pipes and washing machines regularly.
