Timber Flooring FAQs
1. How much does timber floor sanding cost in Wollongong?
Timber floor sanding starts from $21/sqm, but the final cost depends on the floor size, timber condition, repairs needed, coating choice, access and whether staining is required. The best way to get accurate pricing is to book a free quote so your floors can be properly assessed.
2. How long does timber floor sanding and polishing take?
Most timber floor sanding and polishing jobs take 1 to 2 days, depending on the size of the area, repairs required, coating system and drying time. Smaller jobs may be completed in a single day, while larger homes or stained floors may take longer.
3. Is timber floor sanding very dusty?
Professional timber floor sanding is much cleaner than old-style sanding methods. Dust-extraction and dust-capturing systems help reduce airborne sanding dust, and proper vacuuming before coating is important for achieving a smoother final finish.
4. What happens during the timber floor sanding process?
Floor sanding is usually completed in stages, starting with coarse sanding to remove old coatings and surface damage, followed by medium sanding and fine sanding to smooth the timber. The floor is then vacuumed and prepared before polish, sealant, stain or coating is applied.
5. Are water-based floor coatings a good option?
Yes. Water-based coatings are popular because they are generally low-odour, fast-drying and more environmentally friendly than many traditional solvent-based finishes. They are also a good choice for homes where people want a more natural timber appearance.
6. When can I move furniture back after sanding and polishing?
Light foot traffic may be possible once the coating has dried enough, but full curing can take several days depending on the finish used. Heavy furniture should usually stay off the floor until the coating has properly set to avoid marks, dents or damage.
7. Do I need sanding, repairs or full replacement?
If your timber boards are still structurally sound, sanding and polishing may be enough. If there are loose boards, deep stains, water damage, squeaks, gaps or damaged sections, timber floor repairs may be needed first. Full replacement is usually only required when the timber is too damaged or unstable to restore.
8. Can I get a quote without an on-site visit?
Yes, a virtual quote may be possible using clear photos, room measurements and floor plans. However, an on-site quote is usually more accurate because timber condition, coating wear, repairs and access can be difficult to assess from photos alone.
