PUTNEY DOWN THE CENTURIES
|
Putney was a fishing village until 1786., the The Trooper Inn is a reminder of the Admiralty telegraph station set up here in 1796 - one of a series to signal news back to HQ. The church became famous in 1647 as the venue for the Putney debates on the English constitution. Although largely rebuilt in 1836, the church retains its 15th century tower. David Copperfield married his child wife - the sweet but impractical Dora - here. Notable residents include Thomas Cromwell, Henry the Eighth’s assiduous dissolver of the monasteries and Edward Gibbon. Pitt and Leigh Hunt died here. That eccentric poet, Swinburne, used to enjoy saluting babies in their prams on Putney Common. Nearby, Roehampton House is a grade one listed building built by Thomas Archer in the 18th century and amended by Luytens in the early 20th century. |

Get your kit together - Professional preparation for successful floor sanding
'Well begun is half done' goes the old phrase and it was never more true than when sanding wood floors. Prepare properly and you really will notice a big difference in the finished result. If you're convinced that you're up to the challenge of doing it yourself, and you know your way around a toolbox, then prepping for floor sanding should be a breeze.
Get prepped
The first thing to do is clear the room completely, make sure that any non-movable objects are adequately protected. Even when using dustless floor sanding equipment there can still be some fine debris. That's why you also need to tape off any sockets you're not using so that particles don't settle in them.
You can leave the skirting boards in place, but they're simple to remove and doing so means you can get right to the edges of the room for an immaculate finish. Knock in any nails and place a piece of brightly coloured tape to delineate the doorway. It's a smart visual reminder that the room is off limits until the process is complete.
Finally, you'll need to make sure you have any protective gear you may need, poly can be strong stuff so a mask is a good idea. Natural skin oils can affect the way the newly sanded timber takes the stain or poly, so make sure you wear long sleeves and gloves.
Get your kit
Alongside the dustless sanding equipment that you'll need to hire, there are several other pieces of kit that you'll need to get together before you get started:
• A scraper - This is essential for getting right into the corners and removing any scraps of old finish from the floor.
• Vacuum cleaner and tack cloths - Although you will keep dust to a minimum if you hire dustless equipment, you'll still need to vacuum thoroughly and run a dry tack cloth over the floor to pick up any stray particles.
• High-quality brushes - It's worth investing in the best quality brushes you can afford that won't shed their bristles. Inferior quality brushes can leave streaks and bristles embedded in the finish.
• Long handled rollers or pads for applying poly - Whatever works best for you, depending on how good your knees are!
• Mineral spirits - The professional's friend - ideal for storing your brushes between coats and for making the poly spread over the floor like butter on hot toast!
