Floor Sanding Otley

Floor sanding is not a job for the faint hearted and if you opt to press ahead you'll have to be prepared for a bit of upheaval and mess. You could control this to some degree if you opt to do it yourself but not that many householders in Otley have the expertise or skill to take on a project like this. Local Otley floor sanding companies will probably be your likely port of call and if you cannot locate a decent one nearby, there are others dotted around West Yorkshire who will be able to assist you.

In order to get your floors sanded without creating huge amounts of wood dust and mess a competent Otley floor sanding company will arrive with some fairly impressive equipment. Modern sanding machines are extremely powerful and have an incorporated extraction system to draw out all of the fine dust as it's created, meaning that the entire process is relatively dust-free. So you can see why attacking it with your modest hand held Black & Decker sander isn't really going to be sufficient for this kind of work.

Specialist floor sanding machines are not of course only available to the pros, so if you do choose to have a crack at sanding down your own floors you can always hire the required equipment which is readily available somewhere in the Otley or West Yorkshire area. Tell the tool hire company what you're up to and they'll advise you as to the right machines for the task. There are several renowned makes of floor sander including Hummer, Lagler, Bona and Pallmann.

While it may not necessarily be essential, you ought to completely clear any of your rooms that have to be sanded. The sanding machinery is pretty cumbersome and whoever is performing the work needs to have ample space to manoeuvre it around. A clean, clear room will certainly make the whole process easier, so if you can do this, the better it will be.

To get the kind of professional finish that you're looking for it will most likely be necessary to do more than just sand down your floorboards and slap on a coat of varnish. There are bound to be quite a few minor defects for example cracks, splits, screw holes and nail holes, and there might even be some larger repairs required, where chunks of floorboard are missing or damaged. These should all be repaired to the highest possible level, filled with wood filler and given a final sanding down. Any wood filler used should match the colour of the floorboards, test an area before the final filling.

The last phase of this process will be finishing and sealing your floor. Nowadays not everyone uses sealant on wood flooring since the modern day varnishes are supposed to do the job of sealing and finishing your newly sanded surface. Our opinion is that it is much better to give your floor a good coat of sealer first, as this reveals the natural colour of the wood, gives further protection against scratching and staining, and provides a perfect base for the final coats of varnish. For varnishing use a good quality polyurethane product such as Ronseal Diamond Hard Floor Varnish and give it two or three coats.

When you are thinking about the process of sanding your wooden floorboards, you might start to wonder whether it is actually worth all of the disruption, hard work and dust. If you are having second thoughts about whether you wish to put yourself and your family through all this aggravation, it may pay you to run through the pros and cons of the floor sanding process. The downsides have already been touched on (dust, disruption and effort), so let's consider the advantages, or in short - the benefits.

• Discourages Pests and Bugs: Bugs and pests like the crevices and cracks that are the trademark of a tired and unpolished floor. After it has been sanded and sealed, there are going to be fewer crannies where the bugs can hide.
• Polished Floors Are Easier to Clean: Cracked and worn flooring tends to attract more dust, and as soon as you have sanded down, sealed and buffed-up those floorboards they're going to be a lot simpler to clean and less inclined to attract dust.
• Makes Your Floor Look Beautiful Once More: With a previously exposed and used hardwood floor it's likely to show a few signs of wear in time and the sanding and polishing procedure will bring it back to its former glory.

Floor Restoration Otley

Wooden floors don't always have to be sanded down to bring them back to their former glory, and floors of course can be made of materials other than wood. A reliable Otley floor restoration company will always have an extensive understanding of the most efficient techniques for repairing a damaged or worn floor, regardless of whether it is made of granite, tiles, concrete or wood.

Depending on the state of the floor, various processes like decontamination, disinfection and dehumidification, could be necessary before any real aesthetic floor restoration work takes place. Moisture can quickly soak into imperfections and cracks in the floor surface, in instances where there's been a leaky washing machine or water pipe, and issues can soon begin to present themselves. Mould, fungi and bacteria can develop when water persists in your floors for any length of time. It's vital that these problems are treated without causing any extra injury to the flooring or the property's residents, and expert floor restorers in Otley will understand just how to do this. Keeping floors squeaky clean and regularly checking pipes and washing machines is an excellent way to reduce the chance of these occurrences happening in the first place.
