Having a room that is totally devoid of furniture and other articles, is preferable when you are conducting the floor sanding operation. The sanders are fairly large and has to be swung around the room, therefore stuff being in the way is not ideal. Clear everything out of there and let the dog see the rabbit (as they say), it is going to make the task run so much more smoothly.

As soon as the floorboards have been sanded with a coarse sandpaper, any essential repair work can be completed before the final fine sanding finish is implemented. Broken or missing chunks of flooring can be replaced, cracking and splits can be repaired and any unsightly holes left by nails, screws and other fittings can be meticulously caulked with a colour-matched wood filler, to give your floor a professionally finished look.

Sealing and varnishing your freshly sanded floorboards is the last step in the procedure. This is the time when you can really start to see the difference in your floor. A coating of a suitable sealant (such as Liberon Floor Sealer), will help to bring out the beautiful natural colours of the timber, provide a sound base for the varnish, and offer some further protection against various types of damage. Two or three coats of a top quality varnish should then be applied, giving plenty of time for dying between coats.

Since, the first thing you think of when looking at the possibility of sanding your floorboards is all the dust, disruption and hard work, you may begin to ask yourself whether it is actually worth it. If you find that you're having doubts about having this done, it might be advisable to look at the benefits and drawbacks of the floor sanding process, to ascertain if that sways you one way or another. The drawbacks have already been touched on (effort, disruption and dust), so let's consider the positives, or in short - the benefits.

  • Restores the Look of a Worn Floor: With a previously exposed hardwood floor it's likely to show some signs of wear in time and the sanding and buffing process will bring it back to its former glory.
  • It is Easier to Keep a Polished Floor Clean: Once a timber floor has been sanded, sealed and polished it will be a lot easier to clean since all of the cracks and chips will have been removed or filled and the freshly polished surface will not attract so much dirt and dust.
  • Reduce the Number of Pests in Your Home: There'll be far less places for pests and bugs to hide once you have sanded and polished your floorboards. Let's be honest these pesky insects love to lurk in the cracks and chips of a hardwood floor.

Totnes Wood Floor Maintenance

After your flooring has been completed, don't just assume that it can be left unattended for year after year without any form of routine maintenance. Keep it clean and keep an eye out for any worn or scuffed patches. If a patch of a varnished floor is allowed to wear right through to the bare wood surface, it can be very difficult to fix, so an occasional coat of fresh varnish or two coats of acrylic sealer will help it to hold up for longer without having to be re-sanded.

Wooden flooring doesn't always have to be sanded down to bring it back to its former splendour, and floors of course can be made of materials other than wood. Floors can be made out of tiles, marble, wood or concrete, and a skilled Totnes floor restoration company will have the expertise and knowledge to repair and restore all of these surfaces effectively.

Mould, fungi and bacteria can grow when water remains in your floors for any period of time. Professional floor restorers in Totnes will know exactly how to address these problems without causing harm to the flooring or the residents of the property. Keeping your floors squeaky clean and checking pipes and washing machines is a great way to reduce the chances of these things happening from the get go.
