Restore Your Timber Floors with Expert Sanding & Polishing
Timber floors add warmth and sophistication to any home or business, but years of foot traffic, furniture movement and general wear can leave them scratched, dull and worn. Glen Gilbertson Floor Sanding provides professional floor sanding and polishing in Oatley, restoring timber floors to their original beauty with precision sanding and high-quality finishes. With over 30 years of experience, industry-leading techniques and eco-friendly, dust-controlled equipment, we ensure a smooth, long-lasting finish that enhances the durability and appearance of your floors.
✔ Restores Timber Floor Durability – Sanding removes surface scratches, dents and imperfections, while polishing adds a protective layer to prevent future damage.
✔ Enhances Aesthetic Appeal – Timber floor polishing brings out the natural grain and colour of the wood, creating a fresh, refined look.
✔ Improves Indoor Air Quality – Removing old coatings and built-up dust reduces allergens, creating a healthier environment.
✔ Increases Property Value – Well-maintained timber floors boost the visual appeal and resale value of any home or business.
✔ Custom Finishes to Suit Your Style – Choose from matte, semi-gloss or high-gloss finishes to match your space.
To ensure a smooth and efficient process, some simple preparations can help:
✔ Clear the Area – Remove all furniture, rugs and personal belongings from the space.
✔ Check for Loose Boards or Nails – If possible, inspect your floors for any raised nails or damaged boards that may need attention.
✔ Ensure Proper Ventilation – While we use dust-controlled equipment, adequate airflow helps with drying once the polishing process begins.
✔ Plan for Limited Access – Floors need time to cure after sanding and polishing, so make arrangements to minimise foot traffic during this period.
1️⃣ Inspection & Preparation – We assess your timber floors, secure loose boards and remove any old coatings, staples or adhesives.
2️⃣ Precision Sanding – Using professional dust-free sanding equipment, we smooth the surface with multiple sanding stages, ensuring an even texture.
3️⃣ Polishing & Finishing – High-quality water-based, oil-based or solvent-based finishes are applied in multiple coats, allowing for proper drying between applications.
4️⃣ Final Inspection – Once the polishing is complete, we ensure a flawless finish and provide aftercare recommendations.

The best finish depends on your preference. Water-based finishes are quick-drying and eco-friendly, oil-based finishes enhance timber’s natural warmth, and solvent-based finishes offer a high-gloss, ultra-durable coating.
It’s best to wait at least 48 hours before moving furniture back onto the polished floors. For heavier items, use felt pads and avoid dragging to prevent scratches. Full curing of the finish may take up to 10 days, so take extra care during this period.
