Floor Sanding East Malling

You will find that there are a number of companies in the East Malling area and across Kent, who you may contact for floor sanding services. Obviously with a significant project like this you need to find somebody decent. If you've got a neighbour or friend who has had this type of work carried out they may be able to give you a personal recommendation for a floor sanding company in East Malling that does a fine job. This isn't really a job that you want to try on your own unless of course you are a confident DIYer, and you are able to get hold of the proper gear.

Employing a professional floor sanding company in East Malling should mean that the job is done correctly and with the minimum amount of dust and mess as possible. If you were to use your own hand-held sanding machine you'd get dust everywhere throughout your house and it could take ages to clear. When using professional sanding equipment all the dust is sucked up by an efficient extraction system, leaving just a perfectly smooth wood surface that can then be finished appropriately.

The most effective floor sanding machines are manufactured by companies such as: Bona, Lagler, Hummer and Pallmann, and most of these are available to rent in locations around Kent, if you can't find any in East Malling itself. Obviously, you'll only have to do this if you do choose to press ahead with your own floor sanding project, since professional companies will bring their own sanding machinery. Double check with the hire company to ascertain precisely what you require and take it from there if you take this option.

Working in a room that's totally clear of furniture and anything else, is preferable when you're carrying out the floor sanding operation. The sanding machines are fairly large and needs to be manoeuvred around the room, therefore stuff being in the way isn't ideal. Clear everything out of there and let the dog see the rabbit, it is going to make the work run so much more smoothly.

Once the sanding down has been completed your floor might require some minor repairs and general sprucing up. Large nail and screw holes can be filled with a decent colour-matched wood filler and given one last rub down with smooth glasspaper. Cracks and splits should also be given the same treatment. Should there be any pieces of wood missing or broken these can be diligently filled, repaired and sandpapered.

The last step of this process will be finishing and sealing your floor. Nowadays not everybody uses sealant on wood floors since the modern day varnishes are claimed to accomplish the task of finishing and sealing your newly sanded surface. Our own opinion is that it is far better to give your floor a coat of sealant first, because this reveals the natural tones of the wood, gives extra protection against discoloration and scratching, and gives the perfect base for the final coating of varnish. For varnishing use a good quality polyurethane product such as Ronseal Diamond Hard Floor Varnish and give it two or three coats.

There's little doubt that there's a certain amount of disruption, hard work and dust involved with sanding down your floorboards. And you may begin to ask yourself whether the rewards are really worth all that trouble. If you are having doubts about whether you want to put your family through so much aggravation, it may be advisable to run through the advantages and disadvantages of the floor sanding process. Since we've already covered the disadvantages (disruption, hard work and dust), we'll now talk about some of the benefits.

• Restores the Look of a Worn Floor: If you have already got a wooden floor that's been exposed for quite some time, it will most likely be showing signs of wear. The sanding and polishing process will re-establish the beauty and appeal that your flooring had previously.
• It's Easier to Keep a Polished Floor Clean: When a wooden floor has been sanded down, sealed and polished it will be a lot simpler to clean as all of the splits and cracks will have been removed or filled and the newly finished surface will no longer trap so much dust.
• Discourages Bugs: There will be far less places for bugs to hide after you have sanded and polished your flooring. Let's be honest these pesky insects love to hide away in the cracks and chips of a timber floor.

Maintenance of Wood Floors

After your floor has been finished, don't just assume that it can be left unattended for years on end without any kind of routine maintenance. Keep it clean and keep watch for any worn or scuffed areas. If any section of a varnished floor is allowed to wear through to the bare wood, it can be quite challenging to repair, consequently an occasional fresh coat of varnish or a couple of coats of acrylic sealer will help it to last for longer without the need for re-sanding.
