Floor Sanding Barry

Whilst sanding floors is not something that's impossible for you to carry out by yourself, you'll need to be able to get access to the appropriate gear and have confidence in the use of it. If you feel that you can, then you should have a go, but you might be better off getting in contact with a local Barry floor sanding company, who'll show up fully kitted out to tackle the job properly. If possible you should get recommendations from folks that you know who've had floor sanding done in the past.

So as to get your floors sanded without creating large volumes of dust and mess an experienced Barry floor sanding company will bring in some pretty impressive equipment. Cutting-edge sanding machines are incredibly powerful and have an incorporated extraction system to draw out all the fine dust as it's generated, meaning that the entire procedure is relatively dust-free. So now you can see why going at it with your little Black & Decker hand-held sander is not really going to cut it.

Of course, this specialist machinery is available for rent in various Wales places, if not in Barry itself, if you opt to take the DIY route. It isn't peanuts to hire, so get organised and try to do all the sanding work in a single day. You will clearly not need to stress about this if you employ a flooring company as they will provide all of this apparatus themselves.

Though it might not always be necessary, you should totally clear any of your rooms that need to be sanded. The sanding machinery is pretty cumbersome and whoever is carrying out the work will need to have enough space to manoeuvre it around. A clear, clean room will make the entire process simpler, so if you can do this, so much the better.

After the sanding down has been completed your floor may need some minor repairs and basic tidying up. Large nail or screw holes can be filled with an appropriate colour-matched wood filler and given a final rub down with fine grade sandpaper. Cracks and splits can also be afforded a similar treatment. Should there be any lumps of wood missing these can be diligently repaired, filled and also sandpapered.

When this has all been done your floor can be finished to your taste with a hard wearing floor varnish. However, before this is done it is advisable to give your floor a minimum of one coat of a good quality oil based sealer such as Liberon or Ronseal, which helps to bring out the wood's natural colours, provides a decent base for the varnish, and offers extra protection against stains and scuff marks.

Seeing that, pretty much the first thing you think about when looking at the process of sanding your floorboards is all the disruption, effort and dust, you might begin to ask yourself whether it's actually worthwhile. If you find that you're having doubts about getting this done, it might be a good idea to go over the pros and cons of the floor sanding process, to find out if that persuades you one way or another. The downsides have already been covered (hard work, disruption and dust), so let's consider the positive aspects, or in short - the benefits.

• Polished Floors Are Easier to Clean: Cracked and worn floorboards are inclined to attract more dust, and as soon as you've sanded, sealed and polished those floorboards they're going to be far easier to clean and less inclined to harbour dust.
• Restores the Look of a Worn Floor: If your existing wooden floor is becoming worn and tired, a really good sanding and polishing will make it seem like new once more.
• Reduces the Number of Pests and Bugs: Whilst floorboards don't necessarily harbour as many unwanted pests as a carpet does, these pests still love to hide away in any available cracks and chips that they are able to find between the floorboards. A sanded and sealed floor should leave the bugs with nowhere to hide.
