Floor Sanding Oldham

If you do opt to proceed and get those wooden floors sanded down you will need to find the right people to do it. A swift search online or in the local Oldham newspaper will turn up a few prospects. Alternatively, you could try asking friends or family to recommend someone. Carrying out floor sanding by yourself is probably not an option unless you're a really accomplished DIYer, and even if you are you'll need to hire some pretty hefty equipment which could still be costly.

You could be anxious about a whole lot of dust being produced during the floor sanding process, but this shouldn't be at all the case if you decide to employ an experienced Oldham floor sanding company. They'll use specialist floor sanding machines which include potent extraction systems, quickly drawing up any wood dust that is produced and storing it until it can be disposed of properly. If you went hammer and tongs at it with your own power sander you'll fill the house with dust and get yourself in a right pickle. The outcome will also not be as good.

Of course, this specialist equipment is available for hire throughout Greater Manchester, if not in Oldham itself, should you decide to go down the DIY route. It's not peanuts to hire out, so get properly organised and try to get all the sanding work done in a single day. You'll obviously not need to stress about this if you employ a flooring service as they'll provide all this apparatus themselves.

Having a room that is entirely cleared of furniture and anything else, is best when you're carrying out the floor sanding process. The sanders are quite large and has to be swung easily around the room, therefore having stuff in the way isn't ideal. Clear everything out of there and let the dog see the rabbit, it will make the work run so much more smoothly.

To achieve a really smooth and damage-free surface, a bit of repair work may have to be done. The whole floor should be inspected with a fine tooth comb to pinpoint any cracks, defects and splits, which can then be repaired and filled with a top quality wood filler. The same attention can be given to holes left by screws or nails together with 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.

The last step of this process will be finishing and sealing your floorboards. Nowadays not everyone uses sealer on hardwood floors since the contemporary varnishes are supposed to do the job of finishing and sealing your newly sanded surface. Our own opinion is that it's better to give your flooring a good coat of sealer first, since this highlights the natural colour of the wood, provides added protection against scratching and staining, and provides an excellent base for the final varnish coating. For varnishing use a good quality polyurethane product such as Ronseal Diamond Hard Floor Varnish and give it two or three coats.

There is little doubt that there's a certain amount of hard work, dust and disruption involved with sanding down your floors. And you may start to ask yourself whether the advantages are actually worth all of that bother. Before starting such a procedure, it is generally advisable to run through the pluses and minuses, to see which comes out in front. Once you've done this, you'll certainly have a clearer understanding of what you will gain by sanding your floor or floors. The cons have already been touched on (disruption, effort and dust), so let's take a look at the advantages, or in other words - the benefits.

• Discourages Bugs: Even though wooden flooring doesn't necessarily attract as many pests and bugs as a carpet does, these pests still tend to hide themselves in any available crevices and cracks that they are able to find between the boards. A sanded and sealed floor should leave the bugs with very few places to hide.
• Makes Your Floor Look Beautiful Once More: If your existing wooden flooring is becoming worn and tired, a good sanding and buffing will make it look like new once more.
• Polished Floors Are Easier to Keep Clean: Since freshly sanded, sealed and polished floorboards do not trap so much dirt and dust, it will be far easier to keep your floors clean from now on.

Floor Restoration Oldham

Naturally, not all floors in Oldham are made of wood, and wooden flooring doesn't always need to be sanded down to bring it back to its former glory. Floors can be made out of marble, tiles, wood or concrete, and a decent Oldham floor restoration company will have the knowledge and expertise to repair and refurbish all of these surfaces successfully.

Floor restoration involves a number of different processes and could require disinfection, decontamination and dehumidification before any actual cosmetic work commences. A common issue with floors is a result of leaking washing machines and water pipes, the dampness from which will quickly seep into imperfections and cracks in the flooring. When water remains in your floors for any significant length of time, bacteria, mould and fungi can easily develop and grow. It is crucial that these issues are dealt with without causing any extra harm to the flooring or the residents of the property, and skilled floor restorers in Oldham will understand precisely how to accomplish this. Keeping your floors squeaky clean and checking washing machines and pipes is a great way to reduce the chance of such things happening in the first place.
