Floor Sanding Process

– It is the client’s responsibility to ensure all rooms are completely empty of furniture and other tradesmen at the start of work. – We always endeavor to do the best job we possibly can with the conditions we are given to work with, work in and work around. If there are other trades working on or around the property, we are not liable for the final outcome.

– Although due care is will be exercised by Acclaimed Floor Sanding Services, due to the nature of machine work, decoration and skirting may be liable to marking. Acclaimed Floor Sanding Services will not be held responsible for marking of walls, skirting and similar objects, and will not be held liable for the cost or re decoration.

– Sanding and finishing a timber floor is a skill acquired over many years. Bear in mind that, as all machine work is done by hand controlled machines and applicators there will be evidence of this in the floor. As you live on the floor it will gain a feel and character that is unique to your home. This is all part of the beauty of owning a timber floor.

Acclaimed Floor Sanding Services does not guarantee a completely dust free environment and finish on the floor. Such expectation is not achievable. Dust free environment is unattainable in all domestic and commercial projects.

Agreed Uncontrollable Variations

Acclaimed Floor Sanding Services will not be held liable for other tradesmen’s workmanship e.g. paint flakes, tiller’s spills, plaster dust in cracks, denting from ladders and other tools, silicon, work boot and scuff marks etc.

– Any silicone or oil on the floor may cause rejection of subsequent floor coatings. Silicone or silicone-based products also include air fresheners and aerosol sprays.

Acclaimed Floor Sanding Services may not be able to remove deep cuts and gouges. It will depend on how deep the cut or gouge is. Acclaimed Floor Sanding Services may not be able to remove stains from within the floorboards such as animal urine and watermarks and residue from glue and the backing of carpet underlay.

– Stairs and cupboards must be specifically request & quoted for. Depending on timber species stairs may not match the remaining floor.

– Floor coatings are not applied in a spay booth, there will always be some dust particles in the finished floor.

– Whilst applying coatings, we take precautions to limit any dust on the floor. Dust will be more noticeable on darker timber, gloss and semi – gloss finishes, in doorways, large windows and in areas of direct sunlight.

– Do not expect the coating to look like a sheet of glass, there will be area ‘s where the coating runs into dips, cracks and holes.

– You may notice a swirl or cobweb effect on the floor. This is caused by exaggerated reflection on the floor from lighting natural or other.

Acclaimed Floor Sanding Services is limited by the condition of your floor as to the finish you receive.

– Some low-cost solvent borne polyurethane coatings are highly subject to sheen variation, rejections, roller marks, and are very static in nature, which may cause undesirable traces of dust to accumulate on the wet coatings affecting the finished floor. We recommend the use of or premium water based polyurethane coating if this is a concern. By choosing the low-cost solvent borne polyurethane coating, you agree to accept all risks of using the mentioned floor finish

– Some finishes, mainly polyurethane’s may have a gluing effect on the timber and could cause timber defects. The application of these finishes is at the customer’s risk.

Floor Filling

– We will punch nails and fill nail holes and gaps at the end of floorboards with appropriate filler. We do not fill gaps between floorboards, as due the natural atmospheric moisture variations, movement of timber filler will ultimately fail at any time and will look unsightly.

– Any holes larger than a nail hole may have a sunken appearance when filled.

– We do not guarantee a filler colour match. We are limited to light, mid and dark brown.

Floor Colouring/Staining

– All colour samples are representative and may vary due to individual conditions.

– If different timber species are used, no responsibility will be taken in any difference of the finished colour due to inconsistent timbers.

– Once colour has been agreed, verbally or otherwise, any changes will be made will be charged as “additional work” and will be charged accordingly. It is the client’s responsibility to check colour at time of application if a true representation is required. Re- coloring will be chargeable at full job rate.

– You are likely to get some variation in colour and grain between new and old boards and staining can produce a two-tone effect.

– Due to the nature of the staining technique, skirting and similar objects may be marked. Acclaimed Floor Sanding Services will not be held liable for re- decoration.
