Floor Sanding Cumnock

Although sanding floors is not something which is impossible for you to undertake yourself, you will have to be in a position to get your hands on the correct equipment and be confident in using it. If you feel that you can, then by all means have a go, however it might be better to get in contact with a local Cumnock floor sanding company, who will turn up fully kitted out to tackle the job properly. If at all possible you should get recommendations from folks that you know who've had floor sanding done previously.

The sort of hand held orbital sander that you most likely have in your toolbox is not the tool that is required for a project of this magnitude, and you could easily get yourself in a right pickle if you try to take on this job with one of these. Any respectable floor sanding company in Cumnock wouldn't even contemplate employing tools like this for such a task and will be kitted out with specialized floor sanding machines that make short work of it without a lot of dust or mess.

If you're using a specialist floor sanding company for the project, you'll not need to worry about that though. It is however worth bearing in mind if you do choose to do your own floors.

Although you could possibly shift stuff to one side while doing the sanding, it's much better if the room is cleared completely. This ought to include soft furnishings and furniture, together with any pre-existing flooring materials such as carpets, grippers and underlay. Any nails or screws that are protruding above the floorboards will also need to be removed or punched back in below the floor surface.

Once the sanding down has been finished your floor may need a few repairs and general tidying up. Large nail and screw holes can be filled with a suitable wood filler and then given one last rub down with fine grade glasspaper. Splits and cracks can also be given the same treatment. If there are any lumps of timber missing these can be meticulously filled, repaired and also sandpapered.

The next task is to give the newly sanded flooring a goodly coat of sealer, Liberon or Ronseal is usually a good choice. This should provide a perfect base on which to apply the finishing coats of varnish, and gives some extra protection against a number of issues that could have an impact on your floor in the future. This sealant coat will offer resistance to alcohol, heat and water, and will also help prevent scuffing, staining 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.
