Floor Sanding & Polishing Brisbane
Moreton’s provides timber floor sanding and polishing across Brisbane, the bayside and the Redlands. Speak directly with Tim about restoring worn floorboards, renovating an older home or choosing a finish for your timber floors.
With over 32 years of flooring experience, we assess the timber, existing coating and floor condition before recommending the work. Hardwood, pine and parquetry floors can often be restored; engineered floors need a suitable remaining timber wear layer before sanding is considered.
Choose from waterborne polyurethane, hardwax oil and LOBA ImpactOil 2K. We explain the appearance, maintenance and return-to-use requirements of each option so you can choose a finish that suits your household.
Professional Floor Sanding Services in Brisbane
A good result starts with the condition of the floor. We check for previous sanding, loose or damaged boards, exposed nails and areas needing extra preparation. Repairs, stairs and any additional work are identified in the quotation.
The sanding process removes the existing surface coating and prepares the timber through progressively finer sanding stages, with edges and corners detailed separately. Nail holes and end joins are punched and puttied as required for the agreed work.
Dust extraction reduces airborne dust, but sanding is not dust-free. Before work begins, we explain furniture removal, access, power and protection of adjoining areas. See our home and site preparation guide.
Choose Your Floor Finish System
Premium Impact Oil is a high-performance finish designed to enhance the natural beauty of timber while providing deep penetration and long-lasting protection. It brings out the grain and character of the timber, creating a rich, natural look that is easy to maintain.
This system is ideal for homeowners looking for a durable, low-sheen finish that can be spot repaired without the need to re-sand the entire floor. It’s well suited to high-traffic areas and modern homes where a natural timber appearance is preferred.
Hardwax Oil is a popular choice for timber floor sanding projects in Brisbane, offering a natural matte finish with excellent durability. It penetrates the timber while forming a protective surface layer, giving floors a warm, organic appearance.
This coating system is ideal for residential homes, especially where a softer, more natural look is desired. Hardwax Oil is breathable, easy to maintain, and can be re-coated or repaired in specific areas without sanding the entire floor.
Waterborne Polyurethane is a highly durable and fast-drying coating system that provides a tough, protective finish for timber floors. It offers a clean, modern look with low odour during application and minimal yellowing over time.
This finish is ideal for busy households and commercial spaces where maximum durability and easy maintenance are essential. It provides excellent resistance to wear, making it a reliable option for high-traffic areas.

Floor Sanding Brisbane – Frequently Asked Questions
How much does floor sanding cost in Brisbane?
Your quote depends on the measured area, existing coating, floor condition, access and selected finish. Board repairs, staircases and extra preparation can change the cost. Send your suburb, approximate square metres, photos and preferred timeframe; we will explain the scope and coating options in a written quote. Customer measurements remain subject to an onsite check.
How long does floor sanding take?
Allow around five working days as an initial guide for a typical job. The actual schedule depends on the area, preparation and coating system. Coating drying time and full cure are different: we will confirm when you can walk on the floor, move furniture back and replace rugs for your selected finish.
Can you sand engineered timber floors?
Yes, many engineered timber floors can be sanded, depending on the thickness of the top layer. It’s important to assess the flooring before sanding to ensure it can be safely restored without damaging the structure.
What is the best finish for timber floors?
The best finish depends on the look and performance you want. Hardwax oils provide a natural matte appearance, waterborne polyurethanes offer durability and low maintenance, and impact oils deliver deep penetration with a natural finish and strong protection.
Is floor sanding messy?
Modern floor sanding uses dust-minimised equipment to significantly reduce airborne dust. While some dust is unavoidable, professional systems are designed to keep your home cleaner throughout the process.
Does a worn floor always need a full sand?
No. Some floors may be suitable for maintenance or recoating, depending on the existing finish and condition. Deep wear, damage or an unsuitable coating may require a full sand. We assess the floor before recommending the work, particularly if it has been sanded previously.
