Floor Sanding Portishead

Though sanding floors is not something that is impossible for you to undertake on your own, you will need to be in a position to get hold of the appropriate equipment and have confidence in the use of it. If you feel you can, then by all means have a go, but you may be better to get in contact with a local Portishead floor sanding company, who'll arrive fully kitted out to do the job correctly. When possible get recommendations from folks that you know who have had floor sanding carried out in the past.

Your first concern will probably be that this process is going to generate a tremendous amount of mess and dust, however that is actually not the case. Your chosen floor sanding company won't be making use of little hand held orbital sanders like those that you might have bought for sanding down some paintwork or a door. They'll turn up on your doorstep with some fairly hefty equipment which includes an extraction system which draws up all of the airborne dust as the sanding progresses.

The top floor sanding machines are made by companies such as: Hummer, Lagler, Bona and Pallmann, and many of these will be available to rent in places around Somerset, if you can't identify any in Portishead itself. Needless to say, you will only have to do this if you do want to forge ahead with your own floor sanding project, seeing as specialist companies will have their own sanding machines. Double check with the tool hire company to find out exactly what you require and move forward from there if you choose this path.

Working in a room that's entirely cleared of furniture and other articles, is best when you are conducting the floor sanding operation. The sanders are quite large and needs to be manoeuvred around the room, therefore having stuff in the way is not very helpful. Clear everything out of there and let the dog see the rabbit, it is going to make the task run so much more smoothly.

To achieve the type of professional finish that you're after it will most likely be necessary to do a bit more than simply sand down your flooring and give them a layer of varnish. The chances are there will be a number of minor imperfections such as nail holes, splits, cracks and screw holes, and there could even be some more serious repairs needed, where sections of floorboard are missing or damaged. These should all be refurbished to the best possible standard, caulked with wood filler and then given a final sanding. Any wood filler used should match the colour of the floorboards, test an area before the final filling.

When this has all been finished the flooring can be finished to your taste with a durable floor varnish. However, before this is done it's advisable to give the floorboards a minimum of one coat of a high quality oil based sealant such as Liberon or Ronseal, which helps to bring out the wood's natural shades, provides a decent base for the varnish, and offers additional protection against stains and scuff marks.

When you are looking at the process of sanding your hardwood floor, you may start to wonder whether it is really worth all the effort, dust and disruption. Before commencing such a process, it's perhaps a good idea to go over the benefits and drawbacks, to see which comes out on top. After you have done this, you'll have a clearer understanding of what you can hope to achieve by sanding down your wooden floors. Since we've already touched on the cons (effort, dust and disruption), now we'll look at some of the advantages.

• Restores the Floor to its Former Glory: If your existing timber flooring is beginning to look worn and tired, a really good sanding and buffing will surely make it look like new once again.
• Discourages Bugs: Bugs and pests love the crevices and splits that can be found in a worn and unpolished floor. As soon as it has been sanded down and sealed, there will be fewer places for these pests to hide.
• Polished Floors Are Easier to Clean: After wooden flooring has been sanded, sealed and polished it is going to be a lot easier to keep clean since all the splits and cracks will have been removed or filled and the newly polished surface will no longer trap so much dust and dirt.
