Floor Sanding Bromsgrove

Floor sanding isn't a job for the faint hearted and if you decide to proceed you'll have to be prepared for quite a bit of mess and upheaval. You could control this to some degree if you decide to do it yourself but not so many homeowners in Bromsgrove have the expertise or enthusiasm to take on a project like this. Local Bromsgrove floor sanding companies will probably be your likely port of call and if you cannot locate a decent one nearby, there are others operating around Worcestershire who ought to be able to help.

Your initial thought will likely be that this process is going to generate an awful lot of mess and dust, however that's no necessarily true. Your floor sanding company won't be using little hand held orbital sanders such as those you might have purchased for sanding down a door or some paintwork. They'll turn up with some fairly hefty equipment which includes an extraction system which sucks up all the airborne dust as the sanding proceeds.

Of course, this specialized equipment is available for rent in various Worcestershire places, if not in Bromsgrove itself, should you decide to take the DIY option. It isn't peanuts to rent, so get organised and try to get all the sanding done in a single day. You will clearly not have to stress about this if you use a flooring service because they'll provide all of this apparatus themselves.

Whilst you could maybe shift stuff from one side of the room to the other while doing the sanding, it is far better if the room is completely cleared. This should include soft furnishings and furniture, plus any existing floor coverings like carpets, grippers and underlay. Nails or screws that are protruding above the floorboards will also have to be taken out or punched back in below the floor surface.

To achieve the type of professional finish that you're seeking it will most likely be necessary to do a bit more than just sand down your floorboards and give them a coat of varnish. There are bound to be a number of minor flaws for example splits, screw holes, nail holes and cracks, and there could even be some larger repairs needed, where pieces of flooring are missing or damaged. These should all be restored to the best possible standard, caulked with colour-matched wood filler and then given a final sanding down. Any wood filler used should match the colour of the floorboards, test an area before the final filling.

The next task is to give the sanded flooring a goodly coat of sealant, Liberon or Ronseal is generally a good choice. This provides you with the perfect base on which to brush the finishing varnish coats, and gives some extra protection against a number of issues which could affect your floor down the line. This sealant coat will guard against the harmful effects of water, alcohol and heat, and will also help to stop staining, scuffing and scratching. 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 are thinking about the possibility of refurbishing your timber flooring, you may start to ask yourself whether it's really worth all the dust, disruption and hard work. Before starting such a process, it is generally advisable to go through the positives and negatives, to see which comes out on top. After you've done this, you will have a clearer picture of what you will gain by sanding down your wooden floor. The cons have already been touched on (effort, disruption and dust), so let's look at the pros, or in other words - the benefits.

• Makes Your Floor Look Beautiful Once More: With a previously exposed hardwood floor it's more than likely to show some signs of wear in time and the floor sanding and buffing process will return it to its former glory.
• Polished Floors Are Easier to Keep Clean: As newly sanded, sealed and buffed-up floorboards don't attract so much dust and dirt, it is going to be far easier to keep your floor clean in the future.
• Reduce the Number of Pests in Your Home: While wooden flooring doesn't necessarily attract as many unwanted pests as a carpet, these pesky insects still tend to hide themselves in any available splits and cracks that they can find between the boards. A newly sanded and sealed floor will leave the bugs with few places to hide.

Floor Restoration Bromsgrove

Wooden flooring doesn't necessarily have to be sanded down to bring it back to its former splendour, and floors of course can be made out of materials other than wood. Though some floor restoration comes within the scope of DIY, a decent Bromsgrove floor restoration specialist will undoubtedly have the knowledge required to repair floors made out of a range of materials including wood, stone, tiles or concrete.

Dependant upon the state of the floor, various processes such as dehumidification, disinfection and decontamination, could be needed before any real aesthetic floor restoration work is done.

Fungi, bacteria and mould can grow when water remains in your flooring for any significant period of time. Skilled floor restorers in Bromsgrove know precisely how to deal with these problems without causing injury to the flooring or the residents of the property.

Bromsgrove Wood Floor Maintenance

It matters not if a floor is in a busy pub, in a living room in your home or in an industrious office, it still has to be cared for and given regular maintenance to keep it in good shape and looking beautiful. Exactly how much maintenance is required will be determined by the finish that has been applied to it. Floorboards that are oiled can just be cleaned and then given a fresh coat of oil. Varnished or lacquered floorboards can be cleaned and given a couple of coats of acrylic seal, or sanded down and treated to a fresh coating of lacquer or varnish. And hard wax oiled floors can be wiped down, delicately sanded where they've become worn and a new layer of wax rubbed in.
