Floor Sanding Bridport

If you do opt to press ahead and get those wooden floors sanded down you will have to find the right people to do it. A swift search on the internet or in the local Bridport classifieds section will turn up a few possibilities. On the other hand, you could try asking family or friends to recommend somebody. Doing floor sanding yourself is perhaps not advisable unless of course you are a really accomplished do-it-yourselfer, and even then you'll have to hire some pretty substantial equipment which could set you back a few quid.

In order to get your floors sanded without creating a huge amount of dust and mess a competent Bridport floor sanding company will come armed with some rather impressive equipment. Cutting-edge sanding machines are incredibly powerful and have an incorporated extraction system to extract all the wood dust as it is produced, meaning the whole process is relatively dust-free. So you can see why going at it with your small hand held Black & Decker sander isn't really going to cut it for work like this.

Of course, this specialist machinery is available for rent throughout Dorset, if not in Bridport itself, if you opt to go down the DIY option. It isn't cheap to hire, so get yourself organised and attempt to get all the sanding work done in one day, to save money. You'll clearly not need to be concerned about this if you retain the services of a floor sanding service because they will provide all of this equipment themselves.

While you could perhaps move stuff from one side of the room to the other while conducting the sanding, it is a lot better if the room is completely cleared. This ought to include soft furnishings and furniture, together with any pre-existing flooring materials such as carpets, underlay and grippers. Any nails or screws that are sticking up above the floorboards will also need to be removed or punched back in below the surface.

When the floorboards have been sanded with a coarse glasspaper, any required repairs can be carried out before the final fine sanding finish is implemented. Missing or broken sections of floorboard can be replaced, splits and cracks can be fixed and any unsightly holes left by nails, screws and other fittings can be diligently caulked with a matching coloured wood filler, to give your floor a professionally finished look.

When all this has been accomplished the floor can be finished to your taste with a hard wearing varnish. However, before this is done it is advisable to give your floorboards a minimum of one coat of a good quality oil based sealer such as Liberon or Ronseal, which helps to emphasise the timber's natural colours, provides an excellent base for varnishing, and offers additional protection against stains and scratches.

There is little doubt that there is a certain degree of dust, effort and disruption involved with sanding down your floorboards. And you might start to ask yourself whether the advantages are actually worth all that trouble. If you're having doubts about whether you want to put your family through so much hassle, it might pay you to look at the pros and cons of the floor sanding process. We have already mentioned the cons - sanding floors can involve loads of disruption, effort and dust. But how about the advantages?

• Makes Your Floor Look New Again: If you have already got a wooden floor that's been exposed and used over a period of time, it will most likely be showing signs of deterioration. The floor sanding and polishing process will restore the beauty and appeal that your floor had previously.
• Reduces the Number of Pests: There will be less places for bugs to hide themselves once you've sanded and polished your floorboards. Let's be honest these pesky insects love to lurk in the splits and crevices of a hardwood floor.
• It's Easier to Keep a Polished Floor Clean: Once a wooden floor has been sanded down, sealed and polished it is going to be much easier to clean as all the splits and cracks will have been eliminated or filled and your freshly polished surface will not attract so much dust.
