Floor Sanding Brixham

To have floor sanding carried out properly it is almost always advisable to bring in a local Brixham floor sanding firm who specialise in this type of task. With a little research you'll discover that there are several in the Brixham area and other places in Devon. While you could have a shot at doing your own floor sanding it isn't actually a do-it-yourself kind of task, since some pretty expensive equipment is needed to carry it out successfully. An approved Brixham floor sanding service will have all the right tools.

In order to get your floors sanded without generating huge amounts of mess and wood dust a competent Brixham floor sanding company will arrive with some pretty impressive equipment. Modern sanding machines are very powerful and have an incorporated extraction system to remove all of the wood dust as it is produced, meaning the whole procedure is comparatively dust-free. So you can see why going at it with your small Black & Decker hand-held sander isn't really going to cut it for work like this.

This specialist floor sanding machinery is not of course only available to the experts, therefore if you do choose to have a shot at sanding your own floors you can always rent the necessary equipment which should be readily obtainable somewhere in the Brixham or Devon area. Ask the hire company exactly what you need and they will advise you about the best machines for the task. There are several recognized brands of floor sander including Lagler, Bona, Pallmann and Hummer.

Whilst it might not necessarily be essential, you ought to completely clear any of your rooms which have to be sanded. The sanding equipment is quite bulky and whoever is carrying out the work will need to have sufficient space to manoeuvre it around. A clean, clear room will make the whole process easier, 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 smartening up. Bigger screw and nail holes can be filled with a good wood filler and when dry given a final rub down with fine grade sandpaper. Cracks and splits can also be given the exact same treatment. If you notice any lumps of timber missing these can be cautiously repaired, filled and rubbed down.

The sealing and varnishing of your newly sanded floorboards is the final part of the procedure. This is the point when you can really start to see the changes in your floor. A coat of a suitable sealer (for instance Liberon Floor Sealer), will help to bring out the beautiful natural tones of the wood, provide the varnish with a sound base, and at the same time offer some additional protection against various sorts of damage. Two or three coats of a top quality varnish should then be applied, giving plenty of time for dying between coats.

Seeing as, pretty much the first thing you think of when looking at the possibility of sanding your flooring is all of the dust, effort and disruption, you may start to ask yourself whether it's really worth it. Before beginning such a process, it is perhaps a good idea to go over the advantages and disadvantages, to see which side comes out in front. Once you've done this, you'll definitely have a clearer understanding of what you will achieve by sanding your flooring.

• Reduces the Number of Bugs and Pests: Although wooden flooring doesn't necessarily harbour as many bugs and pests as carpeting, these pesky insects still like to hide themselves in any available cracks and splits that they are able to find between the floorboards. A sanded and sealed floor should leave the pests with few places to hide.
