Our Floor Sanding and Polishing Process
Every timber floor sanding project in Sydney is unique, which is why we follow a detailed, multi-stage process tailored to the age and condition of your flooring. Whether we’re working on newly laid timber or restoring existing floorboards, the goal is always the same: a flawless, durable, luxurious finish
Step 1: Floor Assessment & Preparation
For newly laid floors: We inspect the installation for levelness, secure fixing, and appropriate expansion gaps. Any surface inconsistencies or glue residue are prepped before sanding begins.
For existing floors: We assess for damage, cupping, gaps, stains, or old coatings. Necessary repairs are completed first – filling gaps, replacing damaged boards, or re-nailing loose sections – to create a stable, uniform foundation for sanding.
Step 2: Precision Timber Floor Sanding
Our multi-stage sanding process uses professional-grade dustless sanding equipment to systematically remove surface imperfections and prepare your timber for polishing:
- Coarse sanding – removes old coatings, deep scratches, and uneven areas, bringing the floor back to raw timber
- Medium sanding – refines the surface and smooths out marks from the initial stage
- Fine sanding – creates the smooth, flawless surface needed for a perfect polish
We also edge-sand all perimeters and hard-to-reach corners, followed by a thorough vacuum and clean between each stage.
Step 3: Polishing & Coating Application
Once sanding is complete, we apply your chosen finish. We offer a range of timber floor polishing options to suit both aesthetic preferences and lifestyle needs:
- Water-based polyurethane – Low odour, fast drying, available in matte, satin, or gloss. Ideal for families and occupied homes.
- Solvent-based polyurethane – Extremely hard-wearing with a rich, warm tone. Available in high-gloss or satin finish.
- Hardwax oils – Natural look and feel, ideal for heritage homes or environmentally conscious homeowners in Sydney.
We apply multiple coats with light sanding between each to ensure maximum durability and a beautifully consistent sheen across your entire floor.
Step 4: Drying & Curing
- Floors are usually touch-dry within 4–8 hours, depending on the product used
- Light foot traffic is typically safe after 24 hours
- Full curing takes up to 7 days – we provide detailed care instructions to protect your finish during this period
Step 5: Final Inspection & Walkthrough
We complete a detailed inspection and final buff (if needed) to ensure a uniform finish across every surface. Then we walk you through aftercare instructions and offer maintenance tips and product recommendations tailored to your home and lifestyle.
The Result: Beautifully Finished Timber Floors
New timber floors
- gain depth, clarity, and long-term protection from day one
Existing floors
- are brought back to life – refreshed, re-levelled, and beautifully renewed

Can old or damaged timber floors be restored?
Yes. Professional sanding and polishing can restore most timber floors, even those with significant wear, scratches, staining, or old coatings. We assess the condition of your floor during our free inspection and recommend the best approach – whether that’s a full sand-and-polish, targeted repairs, or a combination of both.
Does floor sanding create a lot of dust?
We use modern dustless sanding equipment with built-in dust extraction systems that capture the vast majority of dust at the source. While no sanding process is 100% dust-free, our technology keeps your home clean and comfortable throughout the project.
