Bailey’s Wood Floor Sanding & Restoration Services

At Bailey’s Floor Care, we provide wood floor sanding and restoration services for both domestic and commercial clients and we specialise in the restoration of wood floors using our 9-step wood floor sanding and refinishing process. No matter if it’s your Oak lounge floor, Pine bedroom floor or your local Community Centre, Church Hall or School Hall… our wood floor restoration team can help to bring the WOW factor back to your dull and tired looking floors.

Virtually Dust-Free Floor Sanding

Our floor sanding equipment has a very efficient dust extraction system.  Because of this we can say that most of our floor sanding is virtually dust-free.  You may see some claims from other floor sanding companies guaranteeing dust-free sanding.  In reality – this isn’t possible.  Think about it.  The floor is being sanded and claims of a completely dust-free floor sanding process are not possible and are dishonest.

At Bailey’s Floor Care we’re a little more realistic.  Some dust is inevitable but it’s our aim is to ensure that after your floor has been restored you won’t be faced with a major cleaning project.  As part of our floor sanding process, we’ll be vacuuming a lot.  We do this for many reasons including dust control.  Finally, just before we apply the finish, we’ll have a really good clean-up of our work area.  This keeps the dust to a minimum.

2-Year Warranty

As an Approved Pallmann Parkettprofi Contractor we exclusively use the Pallmann range of products when sanding your floors and are able to offer you a 2-year warranty for the service we provide.

What does Parkettprofi mean?  It’s a ‘Quality’ commitment.  To you, our client.  To become an approved Parkettprofi contractor we have to demonstrate to Pallmann (Germany’s leading manufacturer of floor finishes) that we can sand a wood floor to a high standard and then apply their products correctly.  Why is this necessary? Simply because if it’s done right, the floor is sanded correctly and the finish applied correctly – it lasts so much longer!

This warranty is backed by Pallmann through their Parkettprofi Warranty Scheme.  No other manufacturer of floor adhesives, abrasives and finishes offer this sort of warranty.

How We Sand Floors

Here is our 9-step wood floor sanding and restoration process that will give you fantastic looking floors

1. Pre-inspection. A pre-inspection allows us to understand your needs, what your expectations are and for us to explain what we do and how we do it. Just as important, we can examine the floor, see what issues there are, if any, so we are aware before we start.  This will also give us the opportunity to discuss the finish for your wood floor as there are a few options for you to choose from – don’t worry, we can offer our guidance and recommendations if it helps.
2. Preparation of the room for sanding. We need you to do some work of us before we arrive… If we are sanding your wooden floors, then the room needs to be clear of all furniture and breakable items. Now, we can assist with this the day before we start sanding your wooden floor if you wish, just let us know and we’ll include this as part of the work schedule. On arrival, our floor sanding specialists will run through with you what is being done before inspecting your floor and skirting boards etc. We’ll then protect where necessary – don’t forget, we’re going to be using wood floor sanders. These are heavy machines and we don’t want to cause any problems with carpets etc that lead from the room we are working in so we’ll look after those as well.
3. Vacuuming of your wood floor. We’ll vacuum the entire floor area using industrial vacuum cleaners to ensure we remove all the loose dirt and dust, just so we don’t scratch the floor! We’ll even vacuum around the edges with crevice nozzle to get those bits that get stuck under the skirting or in the corners.
4. Wood floor sanding. A professional wood floor sanding machine is then used to ‘cut back’ the wood. We don’t use hire machines, these are our own machines from the Pallmann range and are the highest spec in the industry that gives a far superior sanding result.  That’s important to give you a perfect finish. The process is almost dust-free with no horrible smells or odours. Our wood floor technicians spend considerable time methodically overlapping each sanding pass to ensure we remove old seals and coatings, scratches and stains, to leave a perfectly sanded floor.
5. Edges and corners. Using a variety of special hand tools and edging tools we’ll get into all of the difficult-to-reach areas and close to the edges of the floor, blending to a perfect finish.
6. Final sanding finish. Here we switch from our belt sander and hand tools to a rotary wood floor sander with a super-fine grit paper that will smooth out any ridges and remove any remaining scratch marks left from the belt sander. This will make your floor look fantastic!
7. Clean & tidy up. When we are happy that we’ve gotten your wooden floor as perfectly sanded as we can, we’ll then vacuum and dust all the areas, removing any dust contamination that there might be. Our sanding process is almost dust-free so we need to tidy up after ourselves. This also helps to prepare the room for the application of the finish so we can bring the WOW factor back to your floors.
8. Application of finish. We have different options when it comes to which finish we apply. An Oil finish or a Lacquer finish. Each one has a unique way of application and their own distinct advantages. We’ll discuss this with you right at the beginning during our pre-inspection.  You can download a guide to the difference between an Oil finish and a Lacquer finish Here…
9. Final Inspection. Once the floor seal has cured enough to accept light foot traffic we’ll inspect the floor with you to make sure you are totally satisfied with the work we’ve done. Only then will we accept your payment! You’ll need to leave your newly finished wooden floor to cure before you can use it again, usually between 12 & 24 hours depending on the finish we apply.

Of course, there are many options to ‘finish’ your wood floors including staining.  After sanding your wood floors we can also re-colour your floor using an oil-based colouring. Once we’ve applied the stain, we can then seal it in the wood helping to keep a long-lasting finish to your wood floors. So, if you’re looking for a trusted and reliable company that is experienced on sanding and renovating wood floors, don’t hesitate to get in touch to find out about our services.
