Invader75 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Hi, We're currently decorating and plan to re sand our bedroom. Floorboards have been sanded a long time a go but they're a bit knackered now so need re doing. My question is, which order do you do it. Sand, cover, paint room, varnish? Or, paint room, sand, varnish. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tennentslager Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Personally I’d do the floor last and hire one of these https://www.jewson.co.uk/tool-hire/power-tools/sanders/products/5700/floor-sander/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeVanCleef Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Have used the same thing tennents suggested + a smaller orbital one for the edges. Works great but is VERY dusty so factor that in. Think I did it after painting the room as per your suggestion so I wasn't precious about the odd paint drip landing on the floor.

So it still kicks up quite a bit of dust even though it's got a bag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeVanCleef Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Yes the bag captures a lot of it but a lot gets propelled around the room too. It is 'clean' sawdust essentially though so easy to hoover up afterward and doesn't leave unsightly mess everywhere (i.e on freshly painted white walls) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassanclan Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Just done this job. Sand first, (floors and then any fillong and sanding of the walls) then get all the dust out before painting celing, then walls and floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s how I did it. But DONT fo what I did..... being a tight bar steward I emptied the bag to reuse it...... it burst half filled and in the huge dust cloud I ran over the power cable.......

It's exactly the type of thing I would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
