Floor Sanding Great Baddow

To have floor sanding carried out correctly it's usually sensible to hire a local Great Baddow floor sanding company who specialise in this kind of task. With a bit of research you'll find that there are several in the Great Baddow area and other places in Essex. While you could have a shot at doing your own floor sanding it's not actually a do-it-yourself sort of job, seeing as some fairly costly equipment is needed to carry it out successfully. A good Great Baddow floor sanding service will have all the correct tools.

Your first thought will probably be that this is gonna produce an awful lot of dust and mess, however that is actually not the truth. Your floor sanding company won't be making use of small hand held orbital sanders such as those that you might have used for sanding down some paintwork or a door. They will show up with some pretty hefty equipment which will include an extraction system that sucks up all of the dust as the sanding progresses.

Manufacturers like: Bona, Hummer, Pallmann and Lagler make specialist floor sanding machinery, and most of these can obviously be hired out from tool hire businesses around Great Baddow, and elsewhere in Essex, should you require one. If you are using a specialist floor sanding service for the venture, you won't need to stress about that though. It is however worth bearing in mind if you do choose to do your own floors.

Working in a room that is entirely clear of furniture and other things, is best when you're carrying out the floor sanding process. The sanders are fairly large and needs to be swung around the room, therefore having stuff in the way isn't ideal. Clear everything out of there and let the dog see the rabbit, it will make the job run so much more smoothly.

Once the sanding has been finished your floor might require some minor repairs and general sprucing up. Larger screw or nail holes can be filled with a suitable colour-matched wood filler and when dry given a final rub down with fine grade glasspaper. Splits and cracks can also be given a similar treatment. Should there be any lumps of wood missing or broken these can be meticulously repaired, filled and also given a rub down.

The last stage of this process will be finishing and sealing your flooring. Currently not everyone uses sealant on hardwood flooring since the contemporary varnishes are designed to do the job of sealing and finishing your sanded surface. Our opinion is that it is better to give your flooring a coat of sealer first, as this brings out the natural colour of the timber, provides extra protection against staining and scratching, and provides an excellent base for the final coats of varnish. For varnishing use a good quality polyurethane product such as Ronseal Diamond Hard Floor Varnish and give it two or three coats.

When you are looking at the process of sanding down your timber floorboards, you might begin to ask yourself whether it's actually worth all of the hard work, disruption and dust. Before starting such a procedure, it's generally a good idea to go through the benefits and drawbacks, to see which comes out in front. After you have done this, you'll have a better insight of what you might achieve by sanding your wooden floors. The drawbacks have already been touched on (hard work, dust and disruption), so let's look into the pros, or in short - the benefits.

• It's Easier to Keep a Polished Floor Clean: As newly sanded down, sealed and polished flooring does not attract so much dirt and dust, it is going to be far easier to keep your flooring clean from now on.
• Makes Your Floor Look New Again: If your existing wooden flooring is becoming worn and tired, a good sanding and polishing will hopefully make it look like new once again.
• Discourages Bugs: There will be less places for bugs and pests to hide themselves after you've sanded and polished your floor. Let's be honest these pesky insects love to hide in the cracks and crevices of a hardwood floor.

Wood Floor Maintenance Great Baddow

Once your floor has been completed, you shouldn't just think that it can be left for year after year without any form of maintenance. Keep it well cleaned and keep an eye open for any worn areas. If a patch of a varnished floor wears right through to the bare wood, it can be very difficult to fix, consequently an occasional fresh coat of varnish or two coats of acrylic sealer will help it to last for longer without having to be re-sanded.

Scratch and Dent Repair

Floor scratch and dent repair is an essential aspect of maintaining the visual appearance and structural integrity of various types of flooring surfaces, ranging from laminate and hardwood to tile and vinyl. Dents and scuff marks can accumulate over time in homes, commercial spaces or offices in Great Baddow due to daily activities, moving furniture or accidents. Such imperfections can be effectively addressed to restore the floor's original beauty, but it takes the right approach. The movement of objects across a floor can cause scratches that mar the surface and make it look tired and worn, especially if the they carry grit. The smoothness of the floor can be disrupted by dents, which are caused by heavy objects being placed with impact or even dropped. The flooring material can be weakened by both of these issues if they're not dealt with in a timely manner, and they are also unattractive. (65432)
