Floor Sanding Havant

If you do decide to proceed and get your wooden floors sanded down you will have to find the best people to accomplish it. A swift search on the net or in the local Havant newspaper will highlight several prospects. Conversely, you could try asking family or friends to recommend somebody. Doing floor sanding yourself is probably not advisable unless of course you are a really accomplished DIYer, and even if you are you'll have to hire some pretty decent equipment which could be costly.

You may be concerned about a whole lot of wood dust being created during the floor sanding procedure, but this should not be the case at all if you elect to call in an experienced Havant floor sanding service. They will use specialist floor sanding machines which include potent extraction systems, quickly sucking up any wood dust that is generated and retaining it until it can be disposed of properly. If you went at it with your own small electric sander you'll soon fill your home with dust and get yourself in a right pickle.

Of course, this specialized equipment is available for hire in various Hampshire places, if not in Havant itself, if you decide to go down the do-it-yourself route. It's not peanuts to hire out, so get properly organised and try to get all the sanding done in one day, to save money. You'll obviously not have to be concerned about this if you employ a floor sanding service as they'll provide all this equipment themselves.

Whilst you could possibly shift stuff from one side of the room to the other while doing the sanding, it's much better if the room is completely cleared. This should include furniture and soft furnishings, together with any existing floor coverings like carpets, grippers and underlay. Any nails or screws that are sticking up from the floorboards will also have to be removed or punched below the floor surface.

In order to get your floor up to the desired standard there'll be additional work to do before any sealing or finishing can take place. There could be some splits and cracks in the floorboards and also nail or screw holes, which all have to be filled with a suitably shaded wood filler. The restored areas will need to be given a final sanding with a fine abrasive to achieve that super fine finish.

The last phase of this process will be finishing and sealing your floorboards. These days not everybody uses sealant on wooden flooring since the modern varnishes are designed to accomplish the task of finishing and sealing your newly sanded wood surface. Our opinion is that it is far better to give your flooring a coat of sealant first, since this brings out the natural colour of the timber, offers extra protection against discoloration and scratching, and provides a perfect base for the final varnish coating. For varnishing use a good quality polyurethane product such as Ronseal Diamond Hard Floor Varnish and give it two or three coats.

There's no doubt that there's a certain degree of hard work, dust and disruption involved with sanding down your floorboards. And you might begin to ask yourself whether the advantages are really worth all that trouble. Before beginning such a process, it is always advisable to run through the pluses and minuses, to see which side comes out in front. After you have done this, you'll certainly have a clearer understanding of what you will gain by sanding your wooden floor or floors. The downsides have already been covered (hard work, disruption and dust), so let's have a look at the pros, or in short - the benefits.

• Polished Floors Are Easier to Keep Clean: Cracked and worn floors have a tendency to trap more dust, and as soon as you have sanded down, sealed and buffed-up those floorboards they will be a lot simpler to clean and less inclined to attract dust.
• Reduce the Number of Bugs in Your Home: Whilst wooden flooring doesn't necessarily harbour as many bugs as carpeting, these pests still like to hide away in any available crevices and cracks that they are able to find between the boards. A newly sanded and sealed floor will leave the pests with very few places to hide.
• Restores the Look of a Worn Floor: With a previously exposed and used hardwood floor it's more than likely to show a few signs of wear over time and the floor sanding and polishing process will return it to its former glory.

Wood Floor Maintenance Havant

A wood floor needs regular maintenance, no matter whether it's in an office, a busy pub or the living room of your home. Clear up dust daily if possible and clean using a patent wood floor cleaner and a mop or microfibre cloth. Don't forget to use felt pads on the feet of furniture, remove shoes before walking into the room, and promptly wipe up liquids that are spilt onto the floorboards, in particular anything very hot or chemical based. 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.

Floors can be constructed from wood, concrete, tiles or stone, and a competent Havant floor restoration specialist will have the knowledge and expertise to repair and refurbish all these surfaces effectively.

Before any real cosmetic floor restoration work commences, various processes like disinfection, dehumidification and decontamination, might be needed dependant upon the condition of the flooring. A common problem with floors is a result of leaky washing machines and water pipes, the dampness from which will swiftly soak into cracks and imperfections in the flooring. Water which goes stagnant and remains in your floors can readily encourage the growth of mould, mildew and bacteria, none of which are acceptable residents. Experienced floor restorers in Havant will know exactly how to address these problems without causing injury to the floor or the residents of the property. A great way to prevent such occurrences happening in the first place is to keep floors squeaky clean and check washing machines and pipes regularly.
