Restore or replace? Floor advice for Armadale homes

Solid timber floor restored in Armadale

One of the most common questions we hear in Armadale is whether an old floor is worth saving. The answer depends on a few things: the type and thickness of the timber, how many times it’s been sanded, the damage, and your budget. Floor sanding in Armadale is often the better-value option – but not always.

Solid timber with enough thickness above the tongue can usually be sanded and polished several times, even if it looks rough now. Floors with widespread water damage, very thin boards or large missing sections may be better replaced. Engineered timber and laminate are good options in those cases.

We’ll look at your floor and give you an honest recommendation, with prices for both options if they’re both reasonable, so you can make an informed choice.

How we restore Armadale floors

When restoration is the right call, this is how we work.

  1. Assess the floor

    Is it a recoat or a full sand? We check the wear and tell you honestly.

  2. Main sanding

    The floor sander removes old coatings and levels the boards in progressively finer passes.

  3. Level the floor

    The main sander removes old coatings and evens out cupped or worn boards.

  4. Finish the detail

    Edges, corners and thresholds sanded, then the floor is filled and fine-sanded.

  5. Seal and polish

    Finish coats are applied and left to cure so the floor is tough and easy to clean.

Widespread water damage, very thin boards or large missing sections can make replacement better value.
