Seventies and eighties homes on steep bushland blocks, split-level and often multi-storey.
Floor Sanding and Polishing Brisbane puts The Gap 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.
Seventies and eighties split-level homes on steep bushland blocks. Multiple small areas rather than one open run pushes the per-square-metre rate up, and shaded subfloors hold moisture.
What comes up most around The Gap: floor sanding, polishing & coating, board repairs. Seventies hillside stock, so that mix is typical for the area.
The Gap 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.
Replacing damaged, cut or borer-affected boards before sanding.
Cupped, swollen or storm-affected floors — and why you must wait.
