Floor Sanding Dunblane

If you do choose to go ahead and get your wooden floorboards sanded down you will have to find the best craftsmen to do it. A quick search on the web or in the local Dunblane newspaper will highlight several prospects. Alternatively, you could try asking friends or family to recommend someone. Doing floor sanding yourself is probably not advisable unless of course you are a really accomplished do-it-yourselfer, and even then you'll have to hire some pretty decent equipment which could still be costly.

So as to get your floors sanded without generating large volumes of mess and dust a professional Dunblane floor sanding company will come armed with some rather impressive equipment. Contemporary sanding machines are very powerful and have an extraction system incorporated to suck up all of the wood dust as it's generated, meaning the whole procedure is comparatively dust-free. So you can see why attacking it with your little hand held Black & Decker sander isn't really going to cut the mustard.

Obviously, this professional equipment is available for rent throughout Scotland, if not in Dunblane itself, should you wish to go down the do-it-yourself option. It's not cheap to hire, so get organised and see if you can do all the sanding work in one day, to save money. You'll obviously not have to concern yourself with this if you employ a flooring company because they'll provide all this equipment themselves.

While you could perhaps shift stuff from one side of the room to the other while doing the sanding, it's a lot better if the room is completely cleared. This ought to include furniture and soft furnishings, as well as any existing floor coverings like carpeting, grippers and underlay. Any screws or nails that are sticking up from the floorboards will also need 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 more than likely be necessary to do a bit more than just sand down your flooring and slap on a layer of varnish. The chances are there will be a number of minor blemishes for example splits, cracks, nail holes and screw holes, and there could even be some larger repairs needed, where pieces of flooring are missing or damaged. These should all be restored to the highest possible level, caulked with colour-matched wood filler and given a final sanding down. Any wood filler used should match the colour of the floorboards, test an area before the final filling.

When this has all been done the flooring can be finished according to your taste with a durable floor varnish. Before this is done it is advisable to give the floorboards at least one coat of a good quality oil based sealer such as Liberon, which helps to emphasise the timber's natural shades, provides a good base for the varnish, and offers added protection against scuff marks and stains.

When you're thinking about the possibility of refurbishing your timber flooring, you may begin to ask yourself whether it's really worth all of the effort, dust and disruption. Before starting such a procedure, it is always a good idea to run through the advantages and drawbacks, to see which side comes out in front. Once you have done this, you'll certainly have a clearer picture of what you can hope to gain by sanding your wooden floor or floors. Since we have already touched on the negatives (hard work, disruption and dust), we'll now look at some of the positive aspects.

• Restores the Look of a Worn Floor: If you already have a hardwood floor which has been exposed and used for quite some time, it will probably be showing signs of deterioration. The sanding and finishing process will re-establish the appeal and beauty that your flooring previously had.
• Reduces the Number of Bugs: There will be less places for pests and bugs to hide once you have sanded and polished your floor. Let's be honest these pesky insects love to hide away in the splits and crevices of a wooden floor.
• It is Easier to Keep a Polished Floor Clean: As freshly sanded down, sealed and polished flooring doesn't trap as much dust and dirt, it's going to be much easier to keep your flooring clean from now on.

Wood Floor Maintenance Dunblane

A wooden floor needs frequent maintenance, no matter whether its in a busy restaurant, the living area of your house or an office. Clear up dust daily where possible and clean using a decent wood floor cleaner and a microfibre cloth or mop. Remember to use soft pads on the feet of heavy furniture, remove shoes before strolling into the room, and immediately wipe away anything that's spilt onto the floorboards, particularly anything that's chemical based or hot. You want to avoid any areas wearing through to the bare wood, which will make it hard to repair, so keep your eyes peeled for this issue.
