Floor Sanding Margate

There are various companies in the Margate area and around Kent, who you may contact for floor sanding services. Of course with a substantial project such as this you will need to find someone decent. If you have a friend or family member who has had this kind of work done they might be willing to give you a personal recommendation for a floor sanding company in Margate that does a fine job. This isn't really a task that you want to attempt yourself unless you're really good at DIY, and you can get your hands on the correct equipment and tools.

In order to get your floors sanded without producing large volumes of wood dust and mess an experienced Margate floor sanding company will bring in some rather impressive equipment. Contemporary sanding machines are very powerful and have an incorporated extraction system to draw out all the wood dust as it is produced, meaning that the entire procedure is relatively dust-free. So now you can see why going at it with your little Black & Decker hand-held sander is not really going to be sufficient for this sort of work.

Companies such as: Pallmann, Lagler, Bona and Hummer produce professional floor sanding devices, and most of these can of course be hired out from tool hire providers around Margate, and elsewhere in Kent, if you require one. If you're using a professional floor sanding service for your assignment, 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.

Before any sanding work begins the relevant rooms will have to be totally clear of furniture. Carpeting and related materials must be removed, as will nails and screws which are protruding from the flooring. The sanding equipment has to be swept around the room, so it is better if there are not any obstructions in the way.

Once the sanding has been completed your floor may require some minor repairs and basic tidying up. Bigger screw or nail holes can be filled with an appropriate colour-matched wood filler and then given a final rub down with fine glasspaper. Cracks and splits should also be afforded a similar treatment. If you notice any pieces of timber missing these can be meticulously filled, repaired and also given a rub down.

The last step of this process will be finishing and sealing your flooring. Nowadays not everybody uses sealer on wood flooring since the modern varnishes are designed to accomplish the task of finishing and sealing your sanded surface. Our opinion is that it's much better to give your flooring a coat of sealer first, as this brings out the natural tones of the timber, provides additional protection against discoloration and scratching, and provides an excellent 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.

Because, pretty much the first thing you think of when looking at the process of sanding your floorboards is all the effort, dust and disruption, you might begin to ask yourself whether it's actually worthwhile. Before starting such a process, it is perhaps a good idea to go through the advantages and drawbacks, to see which comes out in front. As soon as you've done this, you'll have a clearer understanding of what you can gain by sanding down your floor or floors. Since we have already mentioned the disadvantages (effort, disruption and dust), now we'll take a look at a few of the pros.

• Discourages Pests and Bugs: Bugs and pests really love the crevices and splits that are the trademark of a worn and unpolished floor. When it has been sanded and sealed, there'll be fewer crannies where the bugs can hide.
• Polished Floors Are Easier to Keep Clean: Worn and cracked floorboards are inclined to trap more dirt and dust, and as soon as you've sanded, sealed and polished your floorboards they are going to a lot easier to clean and less likely to attract dust.
• Restores the Floor to its Former Glory: If your existing wooden floor is beginning to look tired and worn, a good sanding and polishing will make it look like new once more.

Floor Restoration Margate

Floor restoration comes in many forms, and does not invariably involve intensive sanding in order to restore a floor to its former splendour. Whilst some floor restoration work comes within the spectrum of DIY, a competent Margate floor restoration company will invariably have the necessary knowledge to repair floors made out of a variety of materials including granite, tiles, concrete or wood.

Before any actual cosmetic floor restoration work commences, various processes such as decontamination, dehumidification and disinfection, might be required depending on the condition of the flooring. A commonplace problem with floors is caused by leaking water pipes and washing machines, the dampness from which will rapidly seep into cracks and imperfections in the surface of the floor. Standing water that goes stagnant and persists in your floors can easily encourage the growth of bacteria, mould and fungi, none of which are acceptable guests. Without causing any harm to the flooring or the residents of the property, experienced floor restorers in Margate will know exactly how to handle these problems. As with most things, prevention is preferable to cure, so to stop these sorts of things happening in the first place, keep a regular check on washing machines and water pipes and keep your floors as squeaky clean as possible.
