What is a Flush and Clean Sanding?

Flush and Clean Sanding is a technique used in floor preparation where the surface of the floor is sanded down to remove any imperfections such as scratches, stains, or unevenness. This process involves using a floor sander with coarse sandpaper to remove the top layer of the floor, followed by progressively finer sandpaper until the surface is smooth and even. The sanding process is typically followed by cleaning the floor to remove any remaining dust or debris. Flush and Clean Sanding helps to create a smooth and even surface, which is essential for ensuring a high-quality finish when applying a new layer on top of the floor.

When would you use Levelling Compound?

Levelling compound is used when the subfloor is not level or has imperfections that need to be corrected before installing a new floor. It is typically used to create a smooth and level surface for the new flooring to be installed on. Levelling compound can be used on a variety of subfloors, including concrete, plywood, and particleboard. It is particularly useful when installing vinyl or laminate flooring, which require a level surface to prevent damage and ensure a proper fit.

Do I need to dispose of the material from an Uplift?

Yes, material disposal is required after an uplift, but we can handle it for you. However, please note that a disposal surcharge may apply if we have to dispose of the materials ourselves. If you have a skip bin on-site, please let us know, as this can help reduce the total cost of the job by eliminating the need for us to dispose of the materials.

Can I do the Floor Preparation myself?

Yes, you can perform the floor uplift yourself, and we may advise this option if it is a straightforward process. Doing the uplift yourself can lower the total cost of the job. However, before performing the uplift, there are important factors to consider. It is crucial to note that any damage caused during the uplift can result in higher repair costs. If you are unsure or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to CONTACT US FOR FURTHER GUIDANCE.

What things should I consider when Preparing my floor?

When preparing your floor, there are several things to consider to ensure a successful outcome. First, assess the condition of the floor to determine the necessary preparation steps. Next, choose the appropriate tools and materials for the job. Make sure to follow safety precautions and instructions when using any equipment or chemicals. Additionally, allow enough time for the floor preparation process to ensure a thorough job. If you are unsure about any aspect of the preparation process, feel free to CONTACT US FOR EXPERT ADVICE.

What tools do I need to do my own Floor Preparation?

The tools you need for floor preparation depend on the specific job, but some essential tools include a floor scraper, a hammer, a pry bar, a vacuum, a broom, and safety gear like gloves and goggles. Additionally, you may need specialized tools like a floor sander or levelling compound applicator. It’s always best to consult with a professional to determine the tools you’ll need for your specific project.

Why is my carpet so hard to uplift on one part of my floor?

Several factors may cause difficulty in uplifting carpet from one part of your floor. The most common causes are the presence of an adhesive, underlay or subfloor issues, or water damage. Adhesives can make carpet stick to the floor, and underlay can deteriorate over time, causing it to become attached to the floor. Subfloor issues, such as bumps or dips, can also make it difficult to lift carpet. Water damage can cause the glue to harden, making it difficult to remove. It is best to seek the advice of professionals to properly diagnose and address the issue.

How do you charge for Floor Preparation?

We charge based on what is needed to be done to the floor, on the square meterage of the floor, condition and the amount of layers on the floor. All will be taken in to consideration when giving you the price for a Floor Preparation.
