Do you take away all the
sanding debris? -
Sorry we can no longer offer this as part of our
service, Our vehicles are not licensed to carry
waste, and believe it or not we would actually
be breaking the law. We will leave all debris
suitably bagged for your disposal.
Is it true that its
easier to sand and finish a wood floor without
staining? - TRUE
Staining floors is not that
difficult itself, the key is in the preperation
thats needed to get good results, 70% of our jobs
are stain and colouring jobs, Company's offering
sand and seals only are probably not competent
enough to offer this service as it envolves so
much more finishing and attention to detail than
simply sanding and varnishing. Excuses our customers
have heard lately from other companies are: "You
can't stain pine", "Our stainer has
left the country for two weeks". Any professional
floor sander worth there salt should be able to
prep a floor for stain, No excuse.
What woods are difficult
to stain? - In my
experience i find Maple extremely hard to stain
without getting blotcheness, Dark woods can only
be stained darker.
