Floor Sanding Blandford Forum

To have floor sanding done properly it is usually preferable to retain the services of a local Blandford Forum floor sanding company who specialise in this kind of project. With a bit of groundwork you will soon discover that there are quite a few in the Blandford Forum area and other locations in Dorset. Whilst you could have a crack at tackling your own floor sanding it is not actually a DIY kind of task, as some rather costly equipment is required to carry it out effectively. A reliable Blandford Forum floor sanding company will have all the appropriate gear.

Your first concern will probably be that this process is gonna create a tremendous amount of mess and dust, however that's no necessarily the case. Your chosen floor sanding company won't be using small hand held orbital sanders like those you might have used for sanding down a door or some paintwork. They will turn up with some fairly hefty equipment which will include a powerful extraction system which sucks up all of the dust as the sanding progresses.

The very best floor sanding machines are made by companies like: Bona, Pallmann, Hummer and Lagler, and most of these are offered for rent in locations around Dorset, if you can't identify any in Blandford Forum itself. Needless to say, you will only have to do this if you do elect to press ahead with your own floor sanding project, because specialist companies will bring their own sanding machines. Double check with the hire company to determine precisely what you need and move forward from there if you take this route.

Your Blandford Forum floor sanding contractors will likely ask you to clear everything from all the rooms that are to be sanded, though they might be happy to assist you with this, if you are unable to do it on your own. Discuss it with them beforehand to see what can be worked out. A clean, clear room is essential when conducting this kind of work, so get all that stuff out of there! Larger heavy items of furniture could possibly be left in there and moved from end to end, but again talk with the company.

So as to get your sanded floor up to the required standard there will be some additional work that needs doing before any sealing or finishing can be accomplished. There could be some splits and cracks in the floorboards and also nail or screw holes, which will all need to be filled with an appropriately coloured wood filler. The restored sections should be given a final rub down with a fine abrasive to give that super fine finish.

The next job is to give the sanded floor a goodly coat of sealer, Liberon or Ronseal is generally a good choice. This should provide the perfect base on which to apply the finishing varnish coats, and offers some added protection against a variety of issues that could affect your floor in the future. This will be resistant to heat, water and alcohol, and will also help in the prevention of scuffing, scratching 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.

Given that, pretty much the first thing you think of when considering the prospect of sanding your floorboards is all the dust, hard work and disruption, you may start to ask yourself whether it's really worth it. If you are having doubts about whether you wish to put yourself and your family through all of this aggravation, it might be advisable to run through the pluses and minuses of the floor sanding process. Since we have already mentioned the negatives (dust, effort and disruption), we will now take a look at a few of the benefits.

• Reduce the Number of Bugs and Pests in Your Home: Whilst wooden flooring doesn't necessarily attract as many bugs and pests as a carpet, these pesky insects still tend to hide themselves in any available splits and cracks that they are able to find between floorboards. A newly sanded and sealed floor should leave the bugs with few places to hide.
• Polished Floors Are Easier to Clean: Because freshly sanded down, sealed and buffed-up flooring doesn't trap as much dust and dirt, it's going to be a lot simpler to keep your flooring clean in the future.
• Restores the Floor to its Former Glory: If your existing wooden flooring is beginning to look tired and worn, a good sanding and buffing is sure to make it look like new once more.

Floor Restoration Blandford Forum

Obviously, not all floors in Blandford Forum are made from wood, and wooden floors don't always need to be sanded down to bring them back to their former splendour. In order to have your flooring restored successfully, whether it's made from concrete, tiles, wood or stone, it is advisable to seek the advice and expertise of an established Blandford Forum floor restoration company, who'll have the experience and knowledge of all these materials.

Water that goes stagnant and persists in your flooring can easily stimulate the growth of mildew, bacteria and mould, none of which are acceptable guests. Skilled floor restorers in Blandford Forum know exactly how to deal with these issues without causing harm to the flooring or the residents of the property. Keeping floors clean and regularly checking washing machines and pipes is a great way to prevent these occurrences happening from the get go.

After your flooring has been finished, you shouldn't just assume that it can be left unattended for years on end without any sort of routine maintenance.
