So as to get your floors sanded without creating huge amounts of dust and mess a competent Livingston floor sanding company will bring in some very impressive equipment. Contemporary sanding machines are very powerful and have an incorporated extraction system to suck up all of the wood dust as it's created, meaning that the whole process is comparatively dust-free. So now you will understand why attacking it with your small Black & Decker hand-held sander is not really going to cut it for work like this.

The very best floor sanding machines are manufactured by companies like: Bona, Hummer, Lagler and Pallmann, and many of these are available for hire in locations around Scotland, if you can't track down any in Livingston itself. Obviously, you'll only have to do this if you do choose to press ahead with your own floor sanding project, given that specialist companies will have their own sanding equipment. Check with the hire company to find out exactly what you need and move forward from there if you take this option.

Floor Polishing Livingston (01506)

Before any actual sanding begins the relevant rooms will have to be completely cleared of furniture and furnishings. Carpets and associated flooring must be taken out, as will any screws and nails which are sticking up from the flooring. The sanding appliance has to be swept around the room, so it is better if there aren't any obstructions in the way.

To end up with a beautifully smooth and damage-free surface, some additional renovation work might have to be carried out. The entire floor will have to be inspected with a fine tooth comb to pinpoint any splits, defects or cracks, which can then be mended and filled with an appropriate wood filler. Similar attention can be applied to holes left by screws or nails and any damage caused by threshold strips and carpet grippers. The wood filler needs to be matched at closely as possible to the colour of the wood.

Sealing and varnishing your newly sanded flooring is the last and final step in the procedure. This is the time when you can really start to see the changes in your floor. A coat of an appropriate sealant (such as Liberon Floor Sealer), will help to enhance the beautiful natural shades of the timber, provide the varnish with a sound base, and offer some further protection against various sorts of damage. Two or three coats of a top quality varnish should then be applied, giving plenty of time for dying between coats.

There is little doubt that there is a certain degree of disruption, dust and effort involved with sanding down your floorboards. And you might begin to wonder if the benefits are really worth all that bother. Before commencing such a procedure, it is perhaps a good idea to run through the pros and cons, to see which side comes out in front. As soon as you've done this, you will definitely have a better insight of what you might achieve by sanding your flooring. We've already mentioned the negatives - sanding floors can entail loads of disruption, dust and effort. But what about the positives?

  • Polished Floors Are Easier to Clean: Since newly sanded down, sealed and polished flooring does not trap as much dust, it will be far simpler to keep your floors clean from now on.
  • Reduce the Number of Pests in Your Home: There'll be less places for pests and bugs to hide once you have sanded and polished your floor. Let's face it these pesky insects love to hide away in the cracks and chips of a timber floor.
  • Restores the Floor to its Former Glory: If your existing wooden flooring is beginning to look tired and worn, a really good sanding and polishing is sure to make it seem like new once again.

Frequent maintenance of your wood floor is crucial if it is to last for years to come without having to re-sand it back to the bare wood and beginning the entire process over again. Keep a look out for worn areas, shift furniture into different positions to even out wear, and keep the entire thing clean. Clean, lightly sand, and re-coat worn spots with more acrylic sealant or varnish to help it last longer.
