•    Before you begin, use a nail punch and hammer to knock all nails to 2-3mm below the surface of the wood. This can help your abrasive to last longer, and can also prevent damage to your sander. Replace broken boards with reclaimed wood from timber merchants for a seamless finish, and fill any gaps between floorboards for a smooth sanding surface.
•    Choose your abrasive carefully to match the condition of your wood. For an uneven floor, the coarsest abrasive is most suitable, whilst boards which have been previously sanded will typically require a 40 grit adhesive.
•    Make your first cut at a 15 to 45 degree angle to the grain to make the floor flat and true. Always sand from left to right to prevent the appearance of run marks. Where the floor meets the skirting board, use an edge sander for an effective finish.
•    Once the dust has settled, vacuum your floor thoroughly before coating it with white spirit.

Tip One: Preparation

To access every single area of your floor with ease, you’ll first need to completely empty the space. After clearing the room, you’ll then need to check that there are no protruding nail heads sticking out, as this could present a safety risk and damage any floor sander equipment.

Tip Two: Sanding Technique

A sander is a powerful machine and it’s essential not to leave it in a stationary position for any period of time, as it will damage your floor. Also, you should always follow the grain of the wood when you are sanding, as it produces a better finish.
