Suburb · greater Brisbane
Steep hillside blocks with high-set Queenslanders, where the original boards are usually intact but access for machines and dust extraction takes planning.
Floor Sanding and Polishing Brisbane puts Bardon property owners in touch with QBCC licensed floor sanders working across greater Brisbane. Tell us the rough area and what condition the boards are in and we'll match it to someone who covers your suburb — free call, no obligation.
Bardon and Paddington share the same pre-war stock and the same hoop pine question, so the colour advice is the same in both. What differs here is the climb — Bardon blocks are steeper again.
High-set homes on steep hillside blocks with original boards largely intact. Carrying sanding equipment up a full flight is standard, and under-house conversions from the eighties mean one house often has both timber and slab floors.
What comes up most around Bardon: floor sanding, polishing & coating, under the carpet. Hillside pre-war stock, so that mix is typical for the area.
Bardon is inside the Brisbane City Council area, so those rules apply.
QBCC licensing is state-level, so it's identical here: a Floor finishing and covering (hard sector) licence for the sanding itself, and a licensed contractor for any building work over $3,300.
The cheapest good outcome is often a recoat rather than a full sand — $18 to $30 a metre, and it spends none of the floor's remaining thickness. Ask the question directly.
