Title: Floor Sanding Course ....any good ?
Post by: Hilton on March 07, 2013, 12:36:14 pm: We are thinking of sending our chap on a floor sanding course and just want to gauge opinion from those who have done one or any professional on here.

I have seen the courses advertised on here, are they thorough enough to confidently send someone out on a job once completed or would he need additional training....

How does no dust sanding work etc.

Why don't you just email me for more information, I will send you a copy of the pros and cons article I wrote for the CFJ and NCCA magazines.

BTW our course includes some "hand holding" after the training so no need to worry.

Post by: Graeme Smith on March 08, 2013, 04:35:06 pm: Cos the machines are F*****g expensive and there are quite a few doing it. Looked it myself, if you want to be as dustless as you can be you need a few quid + know what to do with the kit after you've bought it.

As already mentioned there is significant cost and a learning curve to match.

Rewarding work but becoming a very competitive market.

In the last anyone purchasing machinery from us has been give the offer to be taken out with our team for a week on various projects from start to finish.
