Floor Sanding and Polishing Brisbane puts Greenslopes 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.
Post-war homes on the ridge with thick original hardwood, usually with sands still left in it. Re-stumped houses are worth checking for level before sanding.
What comes up most around Greenslopes: floor sanding, polishing & coating, under the carpet. Post-war hardwood stock, so that mix is typical for the area.
Greenslopes 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.
Floor sanding is quoted per square metre, so the single biggest thing you can do is have the area measured properly rather than estimated over the phone.
Indicative ranges are published here, with a firm price after the boards have been inspected.
No obligation. Takes 30 seconds.
