Suburb · greater Brisbane
Interwar homes and a heavy layer of student rental conversions around the university.

Interwar homes and heavy student rental conversion. Rental stock takes hard wear, so recoating between tenancies is frequently the right answer rather than a full sand.
What comes up most around St Lucia: floor sanding, polishing & coating, recoating. Interwar and student rentals stock, so that mix is typical for the area.
St Lucia 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.
Sand and polish is $35 to $60 a square metre. Carpet lift and staple removal is a separate $8 to $15, and board replacement runs $90 to $200 each — get those itemised.
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.
Refreshing a worn finish without spending the floor's remaining thickness.
Cupped, swollen or storm-affected floors — and why you must wait.
