Our cutting-edge machine

The Blitz Wire Brush Machine

The Blitz wire brush gives us another preparation option for decks with raised screws or dome-headed nails. We assess the boards, coating and fixings before choosing the method; loose or unsafe fixings still need to be addressed.

How much does floor sanding in Brisbane cost?

Scope & quoting

Every floor is different, so we price the actual job rather than publishing a sight-unseen rate.

Your written quote reflects the floor area and condition, preparation and repairs, access, and the coating system you choose.

Our process — from inspection to handover

  1. Inspect and prepare. Assess the timber, coating, repairs and access, then agree the scope.
  2. Sand, repair and coat. Prepare suitable timber and apply the chosen system to its product instructions.
  3. Plan return to use. Confirm the separate timings for foot traffic, furniture, rugs and full cure.

Area, repairs, coating and site conditions determine the programme. Our floor sanding timing guide explains how to plan around it.

Frequently asked questions

How much does floor sanding in Brisbane cost?
The price depends on floor area, timber condition, repairs, access and the finish you choose. We inspect the floor and provide a written, itemised quote before work begins.
How long does floor sanding take?
The programme depends on floor area, repairs, access, site conditions and the coating system. We confirm the work sequence and the separate instructions for foot traffic, furniture and full cure with the proposed scope.
Is floor sanding completely dust-free?
No sanding process is completely dust-free. We use dust-controlled equipment with extraction at the source to reduce airborne dust and keep the work area cleaner.
What floor finishes do you offer?
Options include water-based polyurethane, solvent-based polyurethane and hard-wax oil finishes. We explain the differences in appearance, durability and drying time before you choose.
Are you licensed?
Quality Floors holds QBCC Licence 64691 and is Australian Timber Flooring Association Member 98. The business has served Brisbane since 1964.
Which areas do you service?
We work across Brisbane and surrounding parts of South-East Queensland. See our Northside and Southside service pages or ask about your suburb.
When can we walk on the finished floor?
Light-foot-traffic timing depends on the selected coating. We provide the walk-on, furniture and rug timelines for your finish before the job begins.
Can you repair gaps, cupping or damaged boards?
Yes. We assess gaps, cupping, pet or water damage and damaged boards, then list suitable repair options and allowances in the written quote.
Can engineered timber floors be sanded?
Some can, but the usable timber wear layer must be thick enough. We inspect the product and floor condition before recommending any sanding.
Do rooms need to be empty before sanding?
The sanding area generally needs to be clear of furniture and belongings. We explain access and preparation requirements when planning the job.
Can you remove an old coating or stain?
In many cases, sanding removes worn coatings and surface discolouration. Deep stains or damage may require repairs, which we identify during inspection.
Do you restore timber floors in Queenslander homes?
Yes. We assess the timber species, board condition and any earlier repairs before recommending the sanding, repair and finish approach.
Do you restore decks as well as internal floors?
Yes. We assess deck condition, fixings and suitable repairs before preparation and coating. Our Blitz wire-brush machine provides an option for working around raised screws and dome-headed nails.
