Floor Sanding Berkhamsted

Floor sanding isn't for the faint of heart and if you choose to proceed you'll have to be ready for a bit of mess and upheaval. You can control this to some extent if you elect to do it yourself but not many home owners in Berkhamsted have the expertise or enthusiasm to undertake such a project. Local Berkhamsted floor sanding companies will be your likely port of call and if you can't find a suitable one close by, there are others in the area who will be able to assist you.

So as to get your floors sanded without producing large volumes of mess and wood dust an experienced Berkhamsted floor sanding company will arrive with some very impressive equipment. Cutting-edge sanding machines are very powerful and have an extraction system incorporated to draw out all the wood dust as it is generated, meaning that the whole process is relatively dust-free. So now you can see why going at it with your small hand held Black & Decker sander isn't really going to cut it for work like this.

Obviously, this professional equipment is available for hire throughout Hertfordshire, if not in Berkhamsted itself, if you decide to go down the do-it-yourself route. It isn't cheap to hire, so get organised and attempt to get all the sanding work done in one day, to save money. You will clearly not have to be concerned about this if you employ a floor sanding company because they will provide all of this apparatus themselves.

Although you could maybe shift stuff to one side while doing the sanding, it is far better if the room is completely cleared. This should include soft furnishings and furniture, as well as any existing floor coverings such as carpets, underlay and grippers. Nails or screws that are protruding above the floorboards will also need to be removed or punched below the surface.

To achieve the sort of professional finish that you are seeking it will most likely be necessary to do more than just sand down your flooring and give them a coating of varnish. There are bound to be quite a few minor imperfections like screw holes, cracks, splits and nail holes, and there may even be some larger repairs needed, where chunks of floor are missing or damaged. These must all be restored to the best possible standard, filled with colour-matched 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.

Sealing and varnishing your freshly sanded flooring is the final part of the process. This is when you can really start to see the changes in your floor. A coat of a suitable sealer (such as Liberon Floor Sealer), will help to emphasise the beautiful natural shades of the timber, provide the varnish with a sound base, and at the same time offer some added protection against potential damage. Two or three coats of a top quality varnish should then be applied, giving plenty of time for dying between coats.

Seeing as, pretty much the first thing you think about when considering the possibility of refurbishing your flooring is all of the hard work, disruption and dust, you may begin to ask yourself whether it's actually worthwhile. If you're having second thoughts about whether you want to put yourself and your family through all of this inconvenience, it might be advisable to analyze the pros and cons of the floor sanding process. We've already pointed out the disadvantages - floor sanding can entail a lot of dust, effort and disruption. But what about the benefits?

• Restores the Floor to its Former Glory: With a previously exposed hardwood floor it is likely to show some signs of wear over time and the floor sanding and finishing process will return it to its former glory.
• Reduces the Number of Bugs: Although wooden flooring doesn't necessarily attract as many bugs and pests as a carpet does, these pests still tend to hide away in any available cracks and chips that they can find between the boards. A newly sanded and sealed floor should leave the bugs with few places to hide.
• It's Easier to Keep a Polished Floor Clean: After a hardwood floor has been sanded, sealed and polished it will be much easier to keep clean in the future because all the crevices and cracks will have been removed or filled and the newly polished surface won't trap as much dirt and dust.
