Floor Sanding Hornchurch

If you do choose to proceed and get those wooden floors sanded down you will need to find the best tradespeople to do it. A quick search online or in the local Hornchurch newspaper will turn up several possibilities. Alternatively, you could ask friends or family to recommend somebody. Doing floor sanding by yourself is probably not advisable unless you are an accomplished do-it-yourselfer, and even if you are you'll need to hire some pretty hefty equipment which could set you back a few quid.

So as to get your floors sanded without generating large volumes of mess and wood dust a professional Hornchurch floor sanding company will bring in some rather impressive equipment. Contemporary sanding machines are extremely powerful and have an extraction system incorporated to draw out all of the fine dust as it's generated, meaning that the entire process is comparatively dust-free. So now you can see why going at it with your small hand held Black & Decker sander is not really going to cut the mustard.

Of course, this professional equipment is available for hire in various Essex places, if not in Hornchurch itself, if you decide to go down the DIY route. It isn't peanuts to hire out, so get yourself organised and see if you can do all the sanding in a single day. You will obviously not have to concern yourself with this if you use a floor sanding service as they'll provide all of this equipment themselves.

Although you could maybe shift stuff to one side while doing the sanding, it's far better if the room is cleared completely. This should include furniture and soft furnishings, along with any existing flooring materials like carpets, underlay and grippers. Nails or screws that are sticking up above the floorboards will also have to be removed or punched below the floor surface.

To achieve a beautifully smooth and damage-free floor surface, a bit of restoration work may have to be carried out. The whole floor should be checked over with a fine tooth comb to identify any cracks, splits and defects, which can be mended and filled with a suitable wood filler. The same attention can be applied to holes left by screws and nails and any damage caused by the removal of carpet grippers and threshold strips. The wood filler needs to be matched at closely as possible to the colour of the wood.

The last stage of the process will be sealing and finishing your floor. Currently not everyone uses sealant on timber floors because the modern day varnishes are supposed to do the job of finishing and sealing your newly sanded wood surface. Our own opinion is that it is far better to give your floor a coat of sealant first, as this emphasises the natural colour of the wood, offers further protection against scratching and staining, and gives a 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.

As, the first thing you think about when looking at the possibility of refurbishing your floors is all the dust, hard work and disruption, you may start to wonder whether it's really worthwhile. If you are having second thoughts about whether you want to put your family through all this inconvenience, it might be a good ideas to analyze the advantages and drawbacks of the floor sanding process. We've already pointed out the disadvantages - sanding floors can involve loads of disruption, hard work and dust. But what about the positives?

• It's Easier to Keep a Polished Floor Clean: Because newly sanded, sealed and buffed-up flooring doesn't attract as much dust and dirt, it will be much simpler to keep your flooring clean in the future.
• Restores the Look of a Worn Floor: If you have already got a hardwood floor that has been exposed for quite some time, it will probably be showing signs of wear. The sanding and finishing process will restore the beauty and appeal that your floor previously had.
• Reduces the Number of Bugs and Pests: There will be less places for bugs and pests to hide after you've sanded and polished your floorboards. Let's face it these pests love to lurk in the cracks and splits of a hardwood floor.

Floor Restoration Hornchurch

Of course, not all floors in Hornchurch are made of wood, and wooden flooring does not always have to be sanded down to coax it back to its former glory. A reliable Hornchurch floor restoration specialist will undoubtedly have an in-depth understanding of the most successful techniques for repairing a worn or damaged floor, whether it's constructed from tiles, granite, wood or concrete.

In instances where there has been a leaking washing machine or water pipe, moisture will rapidly soak into cracks and imperfections in the floor surface and start to cause issues. Mould, fungi and bacteria can grow when water persists in your flooring for any length of time. Without causing any harm to the floor or the residents of the property, skilled floor restorers in Hornchurch will know precisely how to handle these problems. A good way to prevent such things happening from the get go is to keep your floors squeaky clean and check washing machines and pipes regularly.
