Dartmouth Floor Sanding (TQ6): If you're weary of having carpets in your house in Dartmouth, and would prefer a relatively low maintenance floor that is easy to clean and doesn't attract dust and allergens, perhaps a hardwood floor surface may be the solution. If you have already got wood flooring beneath that dusty old carpet you are already halfway there. You could get these floorboards professionally sanded down and wind up with a practical and beautiful floor surface that's going to be the envy or your friends.
Floor sanding isn't a job for the faint hearted and if you decide to proceed you'll have to be prepared for a bit of upheaval. You could manage this to some degree if you decide to do it yourself but not so many property owners in Dartmouth have got the expertise or skill to tackle such a project. Local Dartmouth floor sanding companies will probably be your likely port of call and if you cannot find a decent one nearby, there are others operating around Devon who will be able to help.
In order to get your floors sanded without generating huge amounts of mess and wood dust a professional Dartmouth floor sanding company will arrive with some rather impressive equipment. Modern day sanding machines are incredibly powerful and have an incorporated extraction system to suck up all the fine dust as it's created, meaning that the entire procedure is comparatively dust-free. So you can see why attacking it with your little Black & Decker hand-held sander isn't really going to cut the mustard.
Companies such as: Bona, Lagler, Pallmann and Hummer produce specialist floor sanding systems, and many of these can obviously be hired out from tool hire businesses around Dartmouth, and in other Devon places, should you need one. If you're using a professional floor sanding company for your assignment, you won't need to worry about that though. It is however worth bearing in mind if you do choose to do your own floors.
Before any sanding actually begins the relevant rooms will need to be completely clear of furniture and furnishings. Carpeting and associated flooring materials must be taken out, as will any screws and nails that are protruding from the flooring. The sanding appliance has to be swung around the room, therefore it's better if there are not any obstacles in the way.
When the sanding has been completed your flooring might require a few repairs and general sprucing up. Large screw and nail holes can be filled with a decent colour-matched wood filler and given a final rub down with fine sandpaper. Cracks and splits can also be afforded a similar treatment. Should there be any lumps of wood missing these can be diligently filled, repaired and given a rub down.
When this has all been done your floor can be finished according to your taste with a hard wearing varnish. However, before you do this it is recommended that you give your flooring a minimum of one coat of a high quality oil based sealant like Liberon, which helps to emphasise the timber's natural colour, provides an excellent base for varnishing, and offers additional protection against scratches and stains.
There is little doubt that there's a certain amount of dust, effort and disruption involved with sanding down your floorboards. And you may begin to wonder if the rewards are really worth all of that trouble. Before starting such a process, it's perhaps a good idea to go over the benefits and drawbacks, to see which side comes out on top. After you have done this, you'll have a better insight of what you can achieve by sanding down your floors or floor. Since we've already touched on the disadvantages (disruption, effort and dust), we will now take a look at a few of the pros.
- Makes Your Floor Look Beautiful Once More: If your existing wooden flooring is beginning to look worn and tired, a really good sanding and polishing will make it look like new once more.
- Reduce the Number of Bugs in Your Home: Although wooden flooring doesn't necessarily harbour as many unwanted pests as carpeting, these pesky insects still like to hide themselves in any accessible cracks and crevices that they can find between the floorboards. A sanded and sealed floor will leave the pests with nowhere to hide.
- Polished Floors Are Easier to Clean: Cracked and worn floorboards are inclined to trap more dirt and dust, and once you have sanded, sealed and polished those floorboards they are going to much simpler to clean and less inclined to attract dust.

Floor Sanding Machines Dartmouth
The primary piece of equipment when tackling floor restoration on a wood floor in Dartmouth, is a floor sanding machine. That's not the full picture however, because in order to do a proper job, at least three different types of floor sanding machine will be required. A belt sander is employed for the donkey work, an edging machine will get into hard-to-reach spots and edges, and lastly a buffing machine will be used to produce the final finished floor surface. In some cases, orbital sanders, stair sanders and corner sanders will also be used, confusing the issue even more.
Bona, Lagler, Pallmann and Hummer, are among the manufacturers that build the best floor sanding machines. If you're hoping to try sanding your own floors in Dartmouth, your best option would be to hire out these machines, because they are rather pricey to purchase outright. Whilst the cost of hiring floor sanding equipment is quite reasonable, the outlay can be pushed up drastically by the essential add-ons such as abrasives. When you've taken everything into consideration, you might well deduce that the preferable solution is simply to use a professional floor sanding service in Dartmouth.
