Post-war Queenslanders and timber cottages along the rail line, largely unrenovated in pockets.
Floor Sanding and Polishing Brisbane puts Mitchelton 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 Queenslanders along the rail line, a good proportion unrenovated. Unrenovated stock is where the best original floors survive because nothing has been cut or sanded yet.
What comes up most around Mitchelton: floor sanding, polishing & coating, under the carpet. Post-war timber stock, so that mix is typical for the area.
Mitchelton 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.
The core job — taking a tired timber floor back to bare wood.
The finish itself — water-based or solvent, and how many coats.
