Frequently Asked Questions
How long does floor sanding normally take for a standard home?
Most homes take around 1–3 days depending on the number of rooms, timber condition and if staining is needed. Bigger homes or older damaged floors may take slightly longer.
Will my house get dusty during sanding? I’m worried because I’m sensitive to dust.
We use professional sanding machines with dust extraction which keeps dust extremely low. There may be a little light dust, but we do everything possible to keep the mess to a minimum so the space stays clean and comfortable.
Can you also change the colour of my timber floors?
Yes. We can lighten, darken and stain timber floors to match your style, interior or modern trend look. You’ll get options to choose from before we start.
When can we walk on the floor again after sanding and polishing?
You can walk on the floor 24 hours after the last coat is applied. However, placing heavy furniture or rugs must wait until full curing, which usually takes a few days depending on the finish used.
Do I have to move all furniture myself before the work starts?
Ideally yes, the rooms should be cleared before sanding begins. If you need help or have heavy items, just let us know in advance and we’ll guide you or arrange a solution.
How much does timber floor sanding cost?
Costs vary based on floor size, condition, repairs needed, coating type and staining. We always inspect the space first and then give a clear upfront quote, no hidden surprises.
Do you also work on commercial spaces like offices, cafes and retail places?
Yes, we regularly work with commercial projects. We can schedule work when it causes minimal business disruption and deliver strong finishes suitable for high traffic.
Can you restore old or damaged timber floors?
Absolutely. We specialise in restoring worn, dull, scratched or stained floors and bringing them back to life. Even heavily aged floors can usually be rescued.
Which finish is the best for long lasting shine, water based or oil based?
Both are good, but they are different.
Water based gives a natural, modern look and dries faster.
Oil based offers warmer tones and deep colour.
We’ll recommend the best finish depending on your timber and the look you want.
What maintenance do I need to do after sanding?
Sweep or vacuum regularly, use a slightly damp mop, avoid harsh chemicals, and never drag heavy furniture. Use felt pads under furniture legs and place mats near entrances to reduce grit. Proper care keeps your floors fresh and shiny for years.
Why should I choose professional floor sanding instead of DIY?
At Revolution Floor Sanding, we use industry-grade sanding machines and the correct sanding sequence to deliver a flawless finish that DIY tools can’t achieve. Our 25+ years of experience ensures smooth, even timber floors with zero swirl marks, no uneven grain, and professional coating durability, saving you stress, time and costly repair mistakes.
How do I know if my flooring needs sanding or polishing?
If your timber floor has lost its shine, colour looks patchy, scratches are visible or water no longer beads on the surface, it’s time for professional sanding. We offer free assessment support to tell you exactly what level of restoration your timber needs.
What floor finish is most popular with modern Australian homes?
Most of our clients today choose water-based finishes because they have a cleaner, natural timber look and are low VOC, perfect for modern, coastal or minimalist interiors. At Revolution Floor Sanding, we recommend the best coating based on your home’s interior theme and lifestyle needs.
How long do polished timber floors last after you finish the job?
Our professionally sanded & polished floors typically stay fresh, strong and beautiful for 7-10 years providing the use of good maintenance and care. Our coatings are premium grade, designed for Australian homes and commercial traffic conditions so your floors stay protected longer.
Can Revolution Floor Sanding work around my home schedule?
Yes. We schedule work in stages, room-by-room, and minimise downtime for your family. We can work while you travel, shift temporarily or need to keep parts of your home functional , flexibility is part of our service.
Is floor sanding safe for families, kids and pets?
Absolutely. We use dust extraction technology and low-VOC coatings that are safe after curing. Revolution Floor Sanding ensures a cleaner, safer process with minimal disruption to your living environment.
Do you handle heritage homes and older timber projects too?
Yes, we specialise in restoring aged, heritage and character floors. We bring back the original richness of the timber while preserving the authentic look, grain and identity of older floors.
