Frequently asked questions

  • How did you decide to get into your line of work?

    I was 15 when I started my apprenticeship, and have been going ever since working with various companies before starting my own business

  • What questions do customers commonly ask and how would you answer them?

    Q. How do we know if our floors are fit to sand? A. A quick check under your house before removing your floor coverings will give you an indication as to the condition of your boards and sub-floor structure. This will save you and the tradesperson some nasty surprises once you have removed all your floor coverings - particularly if you are purchasing a new property and intend to polish the boards. Some things to look for may be evidence of termites, water damage, presence of dampness etc. Please note that this is only a suggestion and that in most instances this process may not be necessary... The tradesperson, who comes to estimate for you, will be the best judge. Q. How much will it cost? A. Cost will vary depending on: • The size of your floor. You can estimate this by measuring the length and width of the room and multiplying the two together this will give you the square metreage. • If your floor is old or new. • What type of timber you have i.e. Pine, hardwood, parquetry etc. • Type of floor finish to be used: polyurethane, Tung oil, waterborne etc. • Type of finish: gloss, satin or matt. • Sanding process involved. There are many determining factors in obtaining an estimate, so be sure to be clear when ringing for estimates, exactly what you are being quoted for. Pricing can be an indicator of workmanship, so don't always assume the cheapest quote is the best. Word of mouth is definitely our best form of advertising. What you can expect when your floors are professionally sanded & coated Sanding and finishing a beautiful timber floor is a skill acquired over many years. Bear in mind that, as all the work is done by hand controlled machines and applicators, there can be evidence of this in the floor. Further as you live on the floor it will gain a character and feel that is unique to your home. This is all part of the beauty of owning a timber floor. • Expert sanding and coating. • Nails punched. • Nail holes, knot holes and gaps at the end of boards to be filled with the appropriate filler. • A coating that will provide many years of beauty providing it is properly maintained. What not to expect • A completely dust free environment. Modern sanding machinery is fitted with dust collecting equipment and sanders will endeavour to clean dust away by vacuuming and wiping down surfaces. It is virtually impossible however to totally eliminate dust from the job which has a couple of consequences: o There will always be some dust particles that settle on the newly finished surface. o There will be an amount of dust throughout the rest of the house. • Removal of deep cuts such as those from carpet trimming knives or deep gouges in the boards. • Removal of stains from within the boards and around nail holes such as animal urine and water marks. • Filling gaps between the boards. These gaps are not filled because subsequent shrinkage and expansion in the timber will cause cracking in the filler. • Do not expect boards damaged by borer to have the same gloss level as those in good condition. • Do not expect any areas filled with putty to have the same feel as the timber after application of coatings. Things you should be aware of • Any silicone on a floor will cause rejection of subsequent coats of polyurethane. Silicone or silicone based products also include Fabulon, hair spray; fly spray etc. • 12 volt down lights produce a cobweb effect on the coatings. • You may get slight markings on skirting boards from contact with the Edger. That is why it is recommended to leave painting on skirting until after the floors are finished. • Black Japan or stain around the perimeter of some older timber may produce a two tone effect. • You are likely to get some variation in colour and grain between new and old boards. Q. How long will sanding our floor take? A. As most coating systems require overnight dry times the usual job will be a minimum of two/ three days. This timeframe may be extended depending on the size of the job. As an estimate, most sanders would be able to sand on average 40 square meters / day. Remember to add the time for the coats to be applied and dry after that. Q. Will there be much smell? And can I live at home while my floors are being sanded? A. Yes it will smell. Waterborne finishes are the most environmentally friendly, therefore produce less odour, All other finishes will generally require you to be in a well ventilated separate area, if you are to stay in your home whilst the floor is drying. However, as every job is different, please consult your tradesperson on their advice concerning your house layout or coatings used to ensure they meet your requirements. Q. What type of gloss level should we use? A. The sheen (shine) level on a floor is entirely a personal choice. Factors which could affect your decision include: I) whether the areas have down lights - a lot of light on a high gloss floor will cause glare. ii) Whether you clean the floor regularly - gloss floors show a lot of dust, due to their reflective nature. iii) If you have pets inside - pet’s nails can easily scratch the harder finishes, causing them to look worn more quickly. Currently satin is the sheen level in highest demand. Q. What will I have to do to prepare the floor? A. You can save money by removing all existing floor coverings including tacks, staples and any smooth edge carpet strips from the floor. Remove all furniture and other items on walls, or alternatively, hang a cotton sheet over pictures. Q. Once the job is complete, when can I move my furniture back? A. Most coating will dry overnight assuming mild weather conditions (15 to 25 degrees C) however 7 to 14 days for full curing in the case of polyurethane is suggested by most manufacturers. Any normal traffic should be avoided during this period of time. Small items residing in fixed positions may be put in place carefully provided they have protective tips underneath them within 3 to 5 days check with your tradesperson or coating manufacturer to make sure there is no misunderstanding on this matter as many floors are damaged in this crucial period.
