 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Glen is an incredible professional. The restoration job he did on some 65 year old floorboards at my mum's house in Miranda was amazing. Not only do the floorboards now look brand new, there was no mess and no damage to skirting boards or doors. Glen is a very personable bloke who obviously takes great pride in his work, and I thought his price was very reasonable. I chose Glen based on the reviews I read here but the finished product was even better than I had hoped for. I can highly recommend Glen to anybody who wants high quality service. Thanks Glen - it was an absolute pleasure to deal with you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the timber floors in our house re-done by Glen. They were originally done about 8 years ago and it was a disappointing and poorly done job. I particularly wanted our floors oiled this time and not lacquered and we found other services did not provide this and tried to talk us out of it.  When we met Glen he very quickly won us over with his professionalism, passion and work ethic and he knew exactly what we wanted. We were rewarded with an absolutely first class job that has us wishing we had found him when we first had out floors done. The oil brings out the beautiful red colour of our Jarrad boards and everyone who comes to our house comments on them. He was able to repair the botched sanding from our previous sand. Our floors look new and look stunning.  A great guy, great worker and value for money, would highly recommend him to anyone.

Benefits of Sanding and Polishing Timber Floors

Long-Lasting Protection

Sanding removes surface imperfections, while professional polishing forms a protective layer against scratches, moisture, and daily wear. A well-maintained timber floor lasts decades with the right care.

Aesthetic Transformation

Timber floor polishing enhances natural wood tones, creating a sleek and refined finish. Whether you prefer a high-gloss, semi-gloss, or matte look, we offer custom polishing to match your style.

Healthier Indoor Environment

Old timber floors trap dust, dirt, and allergens. Sanding and refinishing eliminate these particles, improving indoor air quality and providing a cleaner living space.

Expert Timber Floor Polishing for Every Space

From residential homes to commercial properties, our polishing solutions cater to all flooring types, including:

✔ Hardwood Floor Polishing – Restoring the natural elegance of oak, blackbutt, and spotted gum.

✔ Parquet Flooring Restoration – Preserving intricate designs with precision sanding and polishing.

✔ Coloured Stain & Colour Correction – Achieving the perfect shade to match your interior aesthetic.

Our Floor Sanding & Polishing Process

Preparation & Assessment
Floors are inspected for damage, loose boards are secured, and any old coatings, staples, or adhesives are removed.
Precision Sanding
Using dust-controlled equipment, we sand the timber in multiple stages, starting with coarse-grit sandpaper to remove imperfections and finishing with finer grits for a smooth, even surface.
Polishing & Finishing
We apply multiple layers of premium water-based, oil-based, or solvent-based finishes. Each coat is carefully applied and allowed to dry properly, ensuring durability and a flawless appearance.
