Suburb · greater Brisbane
Pre-war cottages and interwar apartment blocks side by side — one of the few parts of Brisbane where parquetry turns up with any regularity.
Floor Sanding and Polishing Brisbane puts New Farm 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.
Pre-war cottages alongside interwar walk-up flats. The flats occasionally have block parquetry under later carpet, which is a slower and more skilled job than strip flooring.
What comes up most around New Farm: floor sanding, polishing & coating, recoating. Mixed timber and parquetry stock, so that mix is typical for the area.
New Farm 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.
Area, condition and number of coats are what move the number. What's under the carpet, and how many staples came with it, moves it again.

The core job — taking a tired timber floor back to bare wood.
The finish itself — water-based or solvent, and how many coats.
Refreshing a worn finish without spending the floor's remaining thickness.
Block and mosaic parquetry — slower, more skilled, and easy to ruin.
