Floor Sanding Houghton-le-Spring

Floor sanding isn't for the faint of heart and if you decide to proceed you'll need to be prepared for a bit of upheaval. You can manage this to some degree if you elect to do it yourself but not many householders in Houghton-le-Spring have got the expertise or willingness to tackle such a project. Local Houghton-le-Spring floor sanding companies will be your first port of call and if you cannot locate a decent one nearby, there are others throughout the county of Tyne and Wear who will be able to assist you.

You may be concerned about a whole lot of airborne dust being generated during the floor sanding process, but this should not be at all the case if you elect to call in a professional Houghton-le-Spring floor sanding service. They will use specialist floor sanding machinery which includes powerful extraction systems, easily sucking up any dust that is produced and storing it until it can be properly disposed of. If you went at it with your own small electric sander you will fill your house with fine dust and get yourself in a right pickle. The result will also not be as good.

Companies such as: Pallmann, Hummer, Lagler and Bona make professional floor sanding machines, and most of these can of course be rented from tool hire businesses in the Houghton-le-Spring area, and elsewhere in Tyne and Wear, should you require one. If you're using a professional floor sanding company 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.

Although you could maybe shift furniture to one side while doing the sanding, it is much better if the room is completely cleared. This ought to include soft furnishings and furniture, along with any pre-existing flooring materials like carpeting, grippers and underlay. Nails or screws that are protruding above the floorboards will also have to be removed or punched back in below the floor surface.

To achieve a beautifully smooth and damage-free floor surface, some additional repair work might have to be done. The entire floor will need to be checked over with a fine tooth comb to pinpoint any defects, splits or cracks, which can be repaired and filled with a suitable wood filler. Similar attention can be applied to holes left by screws and nails together with 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 next job is to give the newly sanded flooring a goodly coat of sealant, Ronseal or Liberon is usually a good choice. This provides you with a perfect base on which to brush the finishing coats of varnish, and offers some valuable extra protection against a number of issues which could affect your floor in the future. This sealant coat will be resistant to alcohol, water and heat, and also help prevent scratching, scuffing and staining. Once dry, your floorboards can then be given a quick final sanding with smooth paper and finally 2 or 3 coats of finishing varnish.

Scratch and Dent Repair

The visual attractiveness and structural integrity of various flooring surfaces, from hardwood and laminate to tile and vinyl, depend on proper floor scratch and dent repair. Everyday activities, such as dragging furniture and footfall, can cause scuff marks and dents to accumulate with time in business premises, offices or homes in Houghton-le-Spring. The right approach can successfully address these imperfections and restore the floor's original beauty. Scratches, often caused by the grit carried by shoes, or the movement of objects across the floor, can mar the surface, making it look worn and tired.
