D.I.Y. vs. Stripseal Flooring Ltd

We advise the typical homeowner not to attempt sanding and finishing hardwood or softwood floors using rental equipment. While it's possible for a homeowner to refinish wooden floors, various obstacles make it a challenging task:

1. Poorly adjusted and maintained rental equipment

2. Drum or vacuuming system imbalance, leading to chatter marks

3. Unadjusted levelling wheels, causing grooves and sanding lines

4. Incorrect use of sanding grits for specific wood types

5. Lack of essential equipment (edge sanders, buffers, vacuums, stains, polyurethanes, sandpapers, and other trade-specific items)

6. Insufficient support from the rental operator

7. Lack of experience, resulting in uneven, excessive, or insufficient sanding

Unfortunately, we have often encountered poorly executed "do-it-yourself" floor sanding jobs. Improperly sanded wooden floors cannot reveal the genuine beauty of authentic wood. It's also worth considering that the perceived cost savings of handling the project independently may not materialise, as the cost of machine rental, materials, and time commitment could even exceed professional services.
