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
