Floor Sanding & Polishing in Wilston
Wilston is packed with Queenslanders. Many still have their original timber floors, under carpet or old varnish. Most are hoop pine or hardwood.
A lot of those houses have been renovated, so the floor is a mix of old and new. Send photos and a floor plan, or we can come and have a look. Either way, we quote both the old and new floors.

What Wilston floors are getting in 2026
Wilston renovates. The character houses stay, so the original floor stays and the work happens around it: a level built in underneath, an extension out the back.
Where a new floor goes in, it’s often European oak in wide boards, with a natural, low-sheen look. Hardwax oil is one of the finish options, alongside water-based coatings.
Our job is the finish and the join. Hoop pine can be sanded and finished like any other timber floor. It’s softer than hardwood, so we set up the sanding and the finish to suit it. Engineered oak can be sanded and finished like any other timber floor. How far we sand depends on the thickness of the top layer, and we check before we start. Where old boards meet new, we sand and finish both together.
Send a photo of the boards, or we can come and have a look for you.

Hoop pine or hardwood, often a mix of both through the house. Many have old polished floors, and some are under carpet. If yours is carpeted, lift a corner of the room and send us a photo, and we’ll tell you what you’ve got.

Usually at the end. Floor sanding and polishing is best as the last trade on the job, so no one walks on the new finish and scratches it. Most owners have their builder or carpenter replace and fix any boards first, then we sand and finish the whole floor so the old and new boards run as one surface. If the floors need doing earlier in the build, that works too. The finished floor gets covered and protected until the other trades are done.

Usually, with the work area closed off. If there’s a level built in underneath, we can often work one level while you live in the other. We sort the timing when we quote.
