This is the third time that we have worked with Alpha Floor Sanding. Vince goes above and beyond, works absolute magic... with rescuing our existing floors and fitted new reclaim floor boards in one of the bedrooms. Ian is always responsive and available on call without fail. We would highly recommend Alpha Floor sanding because we always feel we have been looked after, and we can’t stress enough how trust worthy and efficient Vince and Ian are. Thank you very much. Best wishes, Dan & Kellyread more

Floor sanding procedure

 In comparison to replacing flooring altogether, sanding is a cost-effective solution that will provide similar results. Floor sanding involves removing the top layer of your wooden floorboards through a process called abrasion. This helps to get rid of all surface imperfections such as scratches and marks that have accumulated over time. Here’s how our team performs a professional floor sanding service:

Get the floor ready for treatment

After the technicians have arrived, the first and most important step is to inspect the condition of the flooring. We’ll choose the most suitable approach in accordance with the floor’s current characteristics. Moving away any furniture pieces is also crucial for creating a safe  and productive work environment. The technicians will use a special moving system, which enables them to move heavy furniture around without breaking a sweat.

The 3-phase sanding routine

Before we dive into the brief description of the procedure, it is important to remember that the following doesn’t act as a universal approach to sanding wooden floors. Some surfaces require different sanding and upkeep methods, which are determined in the very beginning of the service.

This regular sanding routine always begins with the removal of the old staining with more coarse paper, which will also help even out the floorboards.

After that the abrasion continues with medium grit sanding paper (from P36 to P60), which helps with the removal of scratches and tiny dents in the surface.

If the wood is fit for further treatment the belt sander is used to eliminate other stubborn blemishes. For that instance, finer sanding paper is put into action.

Cleaning the dust

Our floor sanding machinery has HEPA filters installed, which helps with the collection of all dust caused in the process of abrasion. That’s why our dust-free services are worth trying out.

Other floor maintenance services

Symbolically speaking, just as our bodies require regular maintenance to remain healthy and strong, so do our living spaces need proper care to stay vibrant and welcoming. Therefore “Alpha Floor Sanding” can provide you with additional floor maintenance assistance, which will help improve the state of your wooden floors.

Gap filling

There are two factors which impact the chosen method of gap filling – the flooring type and the width of the gaps. For parquet floors we usually use resin and for crevices wider than 4 mm pine sliver is a proper option. Although it’s not suitable for all floor colours, the Bona gap master is the best solution when dealing with unsteady floorboards.

Floor refinishing

 One of floor sanding’s greatest advantages is that it  provides a smooth surface for refinishing with stains or varnishes which will not only improve its aesthetic appeal but also increase its durability. Therefore replacing the old staining with a fresh coat of varnish is a must wood floor upkeep practice.

Floor repairs

Our technicians are experienced enough to fix cracks in the flooring and even repair broken floorboards. This procedure will save you money and will create a safer home environment.
