The Process: Bringing Your Floors Back to Life
Timber floor sanding and polishing is a transformative process that can breathe new life into tired or damaged floors. Here's how it works:
Sanding: We carefully sand the surface of your timber floor to eliminate imperfections, scratches, and stains, creating a smooth and even finish.
Polishing: Once the surface is prepped, we apply a premium-quality protective polish that enhances the natural beauty of the wood grain while adding a durable layer to protect against wear and tear.
No matter the condition of your timber floors, we’ve seen it all—deep scratches, water stains, uneven surfaces, or years of wear and tear. Our team has the expertise to tackle even the toughest flooring challenges, leaving you with results that look brand new.
Should I Do It Myself or Get a Professional In?
Sanding and polishing timber floors may seem like a straightforward task, but there are several factors to consider before deciding to take it on yourself or call in a professional:
DIY Sanding and Polishing
Pros:
Cost-effective if you already own or can rent the necessary equipment.
Offers a sense of accomplishment for DIY enthusiasts.
Cons:
Requires specialised equipment like industrial sanders, which can be difficult to use effectively.
Mistakes can be costly—over-sanding can permanently damage your floorboards.
Achieving a smooth, even finish and applying polish evenly can be challenging without experience.
Time-consuming and physically demanding.
Hiring a Professional
Pros:
Professionals have the expertise to assess the condition of your floors and choose the best approach.
High-quality tools and materials are used to ensure a flawless result.
Time-efficient—you won’t need to spend days learning, prepping, and working.
Guaranteed results with no risk of accidental damage to your floors.
Cons:
Higher upfront cost than DIY, but the long-term value often outweighs the initial expense.
Our Recommendation: If your floors only need a light touch-up, DIY polishing may suffice. However, for heavily worn, stained, or uneven floors, it’s best to leave it to the professionals. The risk of causing irreversible damage through inexperience often outweighs the cost savings of doing it yourself.
DIY Tips to Maintain and Enhance Your Timber Floors
Even if you hire professionals for sanding and polishing, there are simple steps you can take to maintain your timber floors:
Regular Cleaning:
Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and debris that can scratch the surface.
Use a damp mop with a timber floor cleaner for routine cleaning.
Protect Your Floors:
Place rugs or mats in high-traffic areas to minimise wear and tear.
Use felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches.
Quick Action on Spills:
Wipe up spills immediately to prevent stains or water damage.
Periodic Inspections:
Identify small imperfections early and address them before they escalate.
