Services
Damaged boards are replaced with reclaimed boards or repaired using Lercol a professional cellulose
mixed with sawdust which when sanded matches the floor boards. Large gaps can be
filled with strips of wood. All nail heads are then knocked in below surface
level and any staples removed. Sanding then takes place using progessively finer
grit. The edges are sanded with a different machine and finally the corners are
sanded with a small corner sander.The floor is then hoovered and 1 coat of Bona primer applied to bring out the natural colour in the wood. 2 coats of Bona Lacquer are then applied. The floor
is finely sanded again between these coats..Finish can be either matt or satin matt.There are different grades of lacquer available from domestic upto commercial strength.
Conditions
Prior to sanding the room needs to be cleared of furniture and any old floor
covering. All plumbing and electrical work should be completed. If any boards are being replaced it is important old wood is used as new boards have very little colour or grain and even with staining will not match. 2-3 days per
room should be allowed. I do not sand stairs. Hallways are uneconomic to sand
alone and will be only be done with another room.
Equipment used is a
Lagler Hummel dust free belt sanding machine, Lagler Unico edge sander and Lagler Trio finishing sander. These
are far cleaner machines and give a much better finish than those supplied by hire centres.
