Floor Sanding Leigh-on-Sea

There are several different companies in the Leigh-on-Sea area and across Essex, who you could contact for floor sanding services. As you can imagine with a significant project like this you want to find a decent tradesman. If you've got a neighbour or friend who's had this sort of work carried out they might be willing to give you a recommendation for a floor sanding service in Leigh-on-Sea who do a good job. This isn't really a task that you want to try yourself unless of course you're a confident DIYer, and you can get your hands on the right equipment and tools.

You might be worried about a whole lot of airborne dust being produced during the floor sanding procedure, but this should not be at all the case if you opt to employ a professional Leigh-on-Sea floor sanding service. They'll use purpose built floor sanding machinery which includes powerful extraction systems, easily drawing up any dust that is generated and storing it until it can be disposed of properly. If you went at it hammer and tongs with your own electric sander you'll fill your house with dust and get yourself in an awful mess. The result will also not be so good.

Manufacturers like: Pallmann, Lagler, Bona and Hummer produce specialist floor sanding machinery, and most of these can obviously be hired from tool hire businesses in the Leigh-on-Sea area, and elsewhere in Essex, should you require one. If you are using a professional floor sanding company for the assignment, you won't need to worry about that though. It is however worth bearing in mind if you do choose to do your own floors.

Although you could possibly shift furniture to one side while conducting the sanding, it's much better if the room is cleared completely. This should include furniture and soft furnishings, along with any existing flooring materials like carpets, grippers and underlay. Any nails or screws that are sticking up from the floorboards will also have to be removed or punched back in below the surface.

Once the sanding down has been completed your flooring may need a few repairs and general sprucing up. Bigger nail and screw holes can be filled with a decent colour-matched wood filler and then given one last rub down with fine grade glasspaper. Splits and cracks should also be afforded the exact same treatment. If there are any pieces of timber missing or broken these can be diligently filled, repaired and also sandpapered.

When all this has been accomplished your floor can be finished to your taste with a hard wearing varnish. However, before you do this it's recommended that you give your floorboards a minimum of one coat of a good quality oil based sealant such as Liberon, which helps to emphasise the wood's natural colour, provides a good base for the varnish, and offers extra protection against scuff marks and blemishes.

Seeing that, pretty much the first thing you think of when considering the possibility of refurbishing your floors is all the dust, effort and disruption, you may begin to ask yourself whether it's actually worthwhile. Before starting such a procedure, it is always advisable to run through the advantages and disadvantages, to see which comes out in front. After you have done this, you will definitely have a better insight of what you can achieve by sanding your floor or floors. The drawbacks have already been highlighted (effort, disruption and dust), so let's consider the positives, or in short - the benefits.

• Reduces the Number of Pests and Bugs: While wooden flooring doesn't necessarily attract as many pests as carpeting, these pesky insects still love to hide in any available cracks and chips that they can find between the floorboards. A sanded and sealed floor should leave the pests with nowhere to hide.
• It is Easier to Keep a Polished Floor Clean: Seeing as newly sanded down, sealed and buffed-up flooring doesn't attract as much dust and dirt, it will be much easier to keep your floor clean from now on.
• Makes Your Floor Look New Again: If your existing timber floor is beginning to look worn and tired, a thorough sanding and polishing is sure to make it seem like new once again.

Wood Floor Maintenance Leigh-on-Sea

It matters not if a floor is in an industrious office, in a lively restaurant or in a living room in your home, it still has to be looked after and given regular maintenance to keep it in good shape and looking attractive. Exactly how much maintenance is required will depend on the finish that has been applied to it. Floors that are oiled can simply be cleaned and given a fresh coat of oil. Varnished or lacquered floors can be cleaned up and given a coat or two of acrylic sealant, or sanded and given a fresh coating of varnish or lacquer. And hard wax oiled floors can be wiped down, gently sanded where they are worn and a new layer of wax applied.
