Why polish your
timber floors?
-
i.

-
ii.

-

-
iv.
Enhances Property Value
Well-maintained timber floors add value to your property, making them an excellent investment.
Matt, satin, gloss -
your call.
Each finish has its own character. The same timber, three different ways the light meets it. Hover any tile to feel the difference.
Matt
A subtle, natural look. Reflects little light. Ideal for rustic and minimalist interiors where the timber should whisper, not shout.
Satin
The everyday favourite. A soft, even sheen that complements both traditional and modern spaces - durable, forgiving, and beautiful in any light.
Gloss
A reflective, mirror-like surface. Perfect for formal or high-end settings - amplifies natural light and creates real visual depth.
Common signs your floors
need polishing.
Timber floors lose their sheen over time. Look for these signals - and if more than one applies, it's probably time for a refresh.
-
Dull finishes that no longer reflect light The boards look flat under sun or lamps where they used to glow.
-
Visible scratches or scuffs from daily use Especially in walkways, around dining chairs, or near doors.
-
Uneven surfaces from wear or minor damage You can feel rough patches with bare feet or a broom.
-
Discolouration or water stains Tide-marks, dark patches, or sun-faded zones near windows.
-
Areas where the protective coating has worn off Bare timber visible - at this point, polish soon to avoid deeper damage.
Three coats.
One luminous finish.
Watch how the coats build. A primer, then two coats of water-based polyurethane - each applied carefully, each adding depth, protection, and shine.
Sealer / Primer
Soaks into the grain, seals the timber, and primes the surface for adhesion.
First Coat
Water-based polyurethane builds up protection. Lightly buffed before next coat.
Final Coat
The finish you'll see and walk on for a decade or more - matt, satin or gloss.
Seven unhurried steps,
from first call to last coat.
Watch the polish meter fill as you scroll. Each step adds protection, depth, and lustre - until your floors are finished, properly.
Talk & Plan
Agree on goals, finish, access, and timings.We listen to how you use the space and the aesthetic you want. We'll confirm finish type, colour/tint, slip requirements, and your timeline. We explain our dust-control methods and provide a clear window for when each area will be ready for use.
Inspect & Measure
Accurate assessment for a surprise-free experience.We measure every square metre and assess the timber's condition. Our team looks for wear patterns, sanding history, moisture risks, and structural details such as squeaks or gaps to ensure the best possible foundation for your new finish.
Quote & Schedule
Fixed pricing and clear timelines.You'll receive a comprehensive quote detailing the prep, sanding sequence, and coating specifications. Once approved, we lock in your dates and provide a clear guide on cure times - so you know exactly when you can walk on your floors or move furniture back.
Site Preparation & Protection
Isolating the work zone for a clean result.We treat your home with respect. This step involves protecting adjacent areas, completing minor timber repairs (like re-setting nails), and setting up our advanced dust extraction systems. A thorough vacuuming is performed before any sanding begins to ensure a pristine environment.
Precision Sanding
Masterful restoration of the timber grain.Our technicians sand in stages, moving from coarse to fine grits (40 to 100-grit) to level the floor and remove old coatings. We use specialised equipment for edges and hard-to-reach areas, ensuring a perfectly flat, uniform surface ready to accept the new finish.
Sustainable Coating & Finishing
Applying high-performance, non-toxic protection.We apply your chosen stain or tint followed by multiple coats of our premium, low-VOC, water-based polyurethane. We perform inter-coat buffing to ensure a smooth, durable finish. Our coatings are safe for your family and pets and dry quickly, so you can return to your space sooner.
After-Care & Maintenance
Preserving the beauty of your floors for the long term.To keep your floors looking beautiful for years to come, we provide a tailored maintenance guide. This includes specific cleaning routines, advice on protective felt pads for furniture, and guidance on when to schedule a professional re-coat to maintain the timber's integrity.
Polish or
replace?
Most floors don't need replacing - they need refinishing. Here's how to know which one fits your situation.
Polish & refinish
For surface-level imperfections
- Scratches, dullness, minor damage
- Faded patches, surface water stains
- Worn finish where boards remain solid
- Restores original beauty without the disruption
- Adds another decade or more of life
Full replacement
For structural or terminal damage
- Deep cracks running through boards
- Rot, structural movement, severe water damage
- Boards already sanded too thin to refinish
- You're moving from a different floor type entirely
