Wall & Ceiling Sanders.

Mirka LEROS telescopic shaft extends to ~3m reach. Operator works from ground level on ceilings + high walls without ladder or scaffold. Reduces ladder + scaffold time on residential and commercial work.

Yes - LEROS uses Mirka 27/36mm hose standard. Connects to the Mirka dust extractor for the dustless workflow. HEPA filter standard for fine wall + ceiling dust.

An orbital sander moves its sanding pad in small, consistent circles (orbits), which is great for general sanding and finishing work. They are often used for light to medium-duty tasks. A random orbital sander, on the other hand, combines two motions: the pad spins in a circle while also oscillating in a random pattern. This dual motion prevents the sander from following the same path twice, which significantly reduces the risk of creating noticeable swirl marks on the surface. For professionals working on large drywall surfaces or preparing walls for a high-quality paint finish, the random orbital sander is the superior choice as it provides a much smoother, more uniform result. Wall sanders like the Mirka LEROS and Mirka LEROS-S are strong examples of random orbital sanders that are specifically designed for finishing large surfaces quickly and flawlessly.

Achieving a professional finish on drywall starts with using the correct technique and tools. First, ensure your electric wall sander has a dust extraction system, as this is crucial for visibility and a clean result. To see the dust extractors we sell, check out our Dust Extractors collection page. We stock many dust-free wall sanders, including the Mirka LEROS and LEROS-S, which are suited to this. Always use the appropriate grit abrasive for your task, starting with a coarser grit (e.g., P150) for initial material removal and a finer grit (e.g., P180-P240) for the final, smooth finish. When sanding, apply even, gentle pressure and move the sander in long, overlapping strokes. Avoid pressing too hard, as this can create uneven spots or gouges in the surface. For best results, sand with the grain where possible, and always inspect the surface under a strong light source to identify any imperfections. After sanding, use a vacuum or a dry cloth to remove any remaining fine dust before priming and painting.

Start with a coarser grit to remove material quickly, then step through finer grits for a smooth finish. For bare timber: P80 → P120 → P180. For paint preparation: P120 → P180 → P240. For topcoat finishing: P240 → P320 → P400+. Skip no more than one grit step at a time — skipping grits leaves scratch marks visible under the final coat. When using dust-free sanding systems, ensure the extraction hose is connected and the extractor bag or HEPA filter is not blocked, as blocked extraction reduces both finish quality and operator safety.
