Middlesbrough Floor Sanding (TS1): If your property in Middlesbrough has got wooden floor boards there is always the possibility that you can use this attractive natural material as your final floor surface, as opposed to masking it with man-made solutions such as carpet and laminate. This will probably add extra value to your home and will also lower the incidence of dust, mites and allergens, which will be particularly beneficial if you have problems with allergies or asthma. Getting your floorboards professionally sanded down is going to be the first step in this process.
If you do choose to forge ahead and get your wooden floors sanded down you'll need to find the right tradespeople to do it. A brief search on the internet or in the local Middlesbrough newspaper will turn up a few prospects. Alternatively, you could ask family or friends to recommend somebody. Carrying out floor sanding yourself is probably not an option unless you're an accomplished do-it-yourselfer, and even if you are you'll have to hire some pretty decent equipment which could be costly.
So as to get your floors sanded without generating large volumes of mess and wood dust an experienced Middlesbrough floor sanding company will arrive with some rather impressive equipment. Modern sanding machines are incredibly powerful and have an incorporated extraction system to draw out all the fine dust as it's produced, meaning the whole process is relatively dust-free. So now you can see why attacking it with your little Black & Decker hand-held sander isn't really going to cut it.
Manufacturers such as: Lagler, Hummer, Bona and Pallmann make professional floor sanding machines, and many of these can obviously be hired from tool hire providers in the Middlesbrough area, and elsewhere in North Yorkshire, should you need one. If you are using a professional floor sanding company for your 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.
While you could perhaps shift stuff to one side while conducting the sanding, it is a lot better if the room is completely cleared. This should include furniture and soft furnishings, along with any existing floor coverings such as carpeting, grippers and underlay. Screws or nails that are protruding from the floorboards will also have to be removed or punched back in below the floor surface.
So as to get your newly sanded foor up to the desired standard there will be some more work that needs doing before any finishing or sealing can be accomplished. There could possibly be some cracks and splits in the floor boards and also nail and screw holes, that all have to be filled with an appropriately coloured wood filler. The repaired sections must be given a final sanding with a fine-grade sandpaper to achieve that super fine finish.
Before your newly sanded wood floor is given its final coats of varnish, it ought to be sealed with a good quality product like Ronseal or Liberon. Though certain people believe that this isn't really necessary, you're only going to do this process once, so you might as well do it thoroughly. Wood sealant provides your floor with that added bit of protection, and helps to prevent impairment from staining, scratching and heat. It also builds a decent base onto which the final coats of varnish can be applied.
There's little doubt that there's a certain degree of hard work, disruption and dust involved with sanding your floors. And you may start to ask yourself whether the benefits are actually worth all of that bother. If you find you are having doubts about having this done, it may be a good idea to look at the pluses and minuses of the floor sanding process, to ascertain if this persuades you one way or the other. The cons have already been covered (disruption, hard work and dust), so let's look at the pros, or in other words - the benefits.
- Restores the Floor to its Former Glory: If your existing wooden floor is starting to look worn and tired, a good sanding and buffing will make it seem like new once more.
- Reduces the Number of Pests and Bugs: There'll be less places for bugs and pests to hide themselves after you've sanded and polished your floorboards. Let's be honest these pesky insects love to lurk in the cracks and crevices of a wooden floor.
- Polished Floors Are Easier to Keep Clean: Seeing that newly sanded down, sealed and polished flooring does not trap so much dust, it will be far easier to keep your flooring clean from now on.

Middlesbrough Wood Floor Maintenance
It doesn't matter if your floor is in a bustling office, in a lively restaurant or in a bedroom in your home, it still has to be cared for and given regular maintenance to keep it in good shape and looking beautiful. Precisely how much maintenance it needs will depend somewhat on the finish that has been applied to it. Flooring that is oiled can simply be cleaned and then given a new coating of oil. Varnished or lacquered flooring can be cleaned and given a couple of coats of acrylic sealant, or sanded and treated to a new coat of varnish or lacquer. And hard wax oiled floors can be cleaned, gently sanded where they have become worn and new wax put on.
