Before we commence work we make sure there are no nails or staples above the surface of the wood. Any nails / staples are removed / hammered down, any loose boards are secured.
The Sanding Process. Dependent on the condition of the floor we start with a course abrasive, normally this would be a 40g but occasionally old wood floors can be badly stained, discoloured or covered in paint, in cases like this we would start with a 24g. This process cleans the wood of most dirt and paint but will leave it with a very course finish. To make the wood floor totally clean, smooth and scratch free GJP Floor Sanding will apply the finer grades of abrasives finishing with a very fine 120g.
Please be aware floor sanding is reasonably noisy. All our Floor sanding specialists wear ear defenders and face masks. If you live in a flat or semi-detached property it may be worth while informing your neighbours that you are having your floors restored. We keep noise to respectable hours and work between 9am-5pm.
