Service answers

Reveal what the timber can become

Floor sanding is planned around timber, coating, damage, edge details, access and the finish required for the room.

What wooden floors can be assessed for sanding?

The source lists wooden floorboards, particleboard and strand board, parquetry, pre-finished wooden tile and engineered wooden flooring. The timber, existing coating and condition should be checked before the scope is confirmed.

What happens during the sanding process?

Preparation may include removing pins, staples and tacks and punching nails. Sanding then progresses through coarse and finer grits, with separate attention to edges, corners and minor filling before the agreed coating is applied.

What finish options are available?

The source describes clear, intense and stain coating options, with matt or gloss clear finishes. The chosen coating affects the work sequence, drying and access requirements.

When can the floor be used again?

Access depends on the selected coating. The source says to avoid foot traffic for 24 hours, allow three days for maturation and preferably wait seven days before replacing furniture or carpets.

Before requesting a quote

Information that helps define the scope

  • Timber or floor construction
  • Existing coating and required sanding intensity
  • Floor area, stairs, edges and transitions
  • Damage, gaps, loose boards and previous repairs
  • Clear, intense or stain finish and selected sheen

Remove indoor plants, furniture and edibles; identify loose boards, gaps, protruding fixings and previous repairs; make multiple electricity connections and suitable parking available; keep the property vacant with no other trades working; confirm the intended coating, sheen or stain.

Realistic expectations

Condition and limitations remain visible

Deep staining, board movement, damaged boards and earlier repairs may remain visible or require separate repair. Final colour varies with the timber and finish. Dragging or replacing furniture too early can scratch the coating.

Method and finish

Options are selected for the surface

  • Existing condition

Pre-Sanding Cautions

  1. Remove indoor plants, furniture, and edibles
  2. Ensure multiple electricity connections available
  3. Provide adequate parking for heavy machinery
  4. Property must be vacant; no other trades working

Three-Stage Floor Sanding Process

Stage 1: Preparation

  • Remove pins, staples, and tacks
  • Punch nails using hand or machine methods
  • Prevent machinery damage during construction

Stage 2: Floor Sanding

  • Initial 40 grit sanding to level boards
  • Progressive refinement: 40 → 80 → 120 grit
  • Edge and corner sanding
  • Minor hole/gap filling
  • Fine final sanding with disc application
  • Free bonus repairs: pipe holes, loose boards, damaged pins/staples

Stage 3: Floor Coating

Uses water-based polyurethane (preferred over oil-based):

  • Lower volatile organic compound levels
  • Eco-friendly, non-toxic fumes
  • Drying time: 24 hours complete
  • Dust minimization during application

Coating Application Details

  • Floor vacuumed and wiped with damp microfibre cloth
  • 3 coats of water-based polyurethane applied
  • Single coat drying time: 3-6 hours
  • Avoid foot traffic for 24 hours post-application
  • Total maturation: 3 solid days

Three Coating Options

Clear Coating: Three coats of clear water-based polyurethane floor finish of your choice (matt or gloss).

Intense Coating: One coat of intense prime and two coats of clear water-based polyurethane floor finish of your choice (matt or gloss).

Stain Coating: One coat of Bona Drifast stain colour of your choice and two coats of clear water-based polyurethane floor finish of your choice (matt or gloss). We have 12 different stain colours to choose from.

Furniture Reinstallation Guidelines

  • Avoid furniture placement for minimum 7 days
  • If necessary, wait minimum 48 hours post-varnish
  • Dragging furniture causes scratches difficult to remove without re-sanding
  • Carpets require 1-week storage before replacement

Scoping guidance

Timber condition, finish and on-site estimate

Floor sanding follows the natural wood grain through progressive sanding stages before the selected coating or polish is applied. Existing coatings, boards, repairs, nails and floor movement affect preparation.

Clear furniture and storage from the work area before the visit unless another arrangement is confirmed. Adjacent spaces may also need protection from dust and traffic.

An on-site estimate allows the team to inspect the timber, measure the full area and discuss finish options, drying time and price. Concrete, vinyl and other floor types require different preparation systems.
