Floor Sanding & Polishing in Yeronga
Yeronga sits close to the Brisbane River, and plenty of its homes have seen water come through more than once. That changes how floors here should be treated.
If the boards look like they’ve held water — cupping, dark patches, a damp subfloor — we moisture test before any finish goes on, because coating wet timber is how floors cup, lift and fail months down the track. Sanding and polishing timber floors across Brisbane since 2012, QBCC licensed, with over 20 years on the tools.
Most Yeronga floor sanding jobs land around $55–$75/m², with the full range $45–$90/m² depending on condition and finish.

What it costs in Yeronga
Most Yeronga jobs land $55–$75 per square metre for a standard restoration — a full sand back to raw timber and coating. Heavy restoration ($75–$90/m²) covers deep damage, gap filling, old coatings or glue removal, and it comes up more often here than in most suburbs, because floors that have taken water in the past usually need more prep than they look like they need.
Floors already sanded that just want a maintenance top coat run $45–$55/m². Every job carries a minimum, so smaller single areas sit toward the higher end per square metre. As a rough guide, a standard 3-bedroom home usually lands around $4,500–$8,000 all-in. Send photos and a floor plan and we’ll give you a straight number.
What actually happens, step by step
First, a proper look at the boards. If anything looks off — cupping, dark patches, a damp subfloor — we moisture test before anything else happens. If the timber’s holding more moisture than it should, we tell you straight and we wait or work out why, because coating a wet floor wastes your money.
Then it’s the full sand back to raw timber with Lagler machines and Festool dust extraction, punching and filling where needed, fine sanding, then coats with proper drying time between each.
You get told exactly when you can walk on it and when the furniture can go back.
Can we stay in the house?
Depends on the job. Some homeowners stay in part of the house while we work section by section; others move out for a few days, especially if the whole home’s being done.
All furniture needs to be off the floor first, and you’ll need to keep off it while coats dry.
If fumes or dust are a worry, non-toxic and low-VOC finishes help a lot — we’ll talk through what suits your household and confirm timing on the day.
What’s under your carpet
Most Yeronga homes are Queenslanders, workers cottages and post-war builds, which means Hoop Pine or a mixed hardwood floor is likely sitting under the carpet — often in better nick than you’d expect. Pull a corner back in a wardrobe and have a look, or send us a photo and we’ll tell you what you’ve got and whether it’s worth doing. If the boards have seen floodwater at some point, that’s exactly the job we want to look at properly — some come up beautifully, some need honest advice first, and we give you that before you spend a dollar.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Most Yeronga jobs land $55–$75 per square metre. The full range is $45–$90/m², depending mainly on the condition of your floor. As a rough guide, a standard 3-bedroom home usually lands around $4,500–$8,000 all-in.
-
When the floor calls for it. Yeronga sits close to the river, so if the boards show signs of holding moisture — cupping, dark patches, a damp subfloor — we test before any finish goes on. It’s part of the job, not an extra. Most floors don’t need it.
-
Often, yes. Timber that has dried out properly can be sanded back. The catch is you can’t always tell by looking — cupped or stained boards might be fine underneath, and flat-looking boards can still be holding moisture. If anything looks off, we moisture test before any finish goes on, and we tell you straight if a floor isn’t worth doing.
-
Usually Hoop Pine in the post-war homes, and mixed hardwoods like Spotted Gum, Blackbutt or Ironbark in the Queenslanders and workers cottages. Pull back a corner of carpet in a wardrobe or send us a photo — we’ll tell you what it is and whether it’s worth restoring.
-
Most homes take 2–4 days depending on size, condition and the finish you choose. Every floor’s different, so we confirm your exact timeframe at quote stage.
-
Not always. Some clients stay in part of the house while we work in sections; bigger jobs are easier with the house empty for a few days. Furniture needs to be off the floors either way, and you’ll need to keep off each coat while it dries.
-
If your floors have been sanded before and the coating’s just worn, a maintenance re-coat — a buff and one or two top coats — might be all you need at $45–$55/m². Most floors that have gone grey, deep-scratched or water-marked need the full sand back to raw to come up properly. Send photos and we’ll tell you which one you’re actually looking at.
