Floor sanding and recoating for coastal homes in Hillarys

Recoated timber floor in a Hillarys coastal home

Living close to the beach in Hillarys is great – but sand carried in on feet acts like sandpaper on a timber floor. Over time the finish wears through in hallways and living areas, and strong western light can fade boards near windows and sliding doors. Timber floor sanding in Hillarys removes that damage and gives you a fresh, protected surface.

For floors that are worn but not yet down to bare timber, a recoat is often the smart choice. We buff the existing finish and apply a new protective coat, which keeps the timber safe and costs far less than a full sand. Recoating every few years in high-traffic coastal homes helps stop wear reaching the boards at all.

When the floor does need a full sand, we work through each room with coarse to fine sanding, edge the perimeter, fill gaps and then polish with the finish of your choice. Many Hillarys clients choose a matt or satin sheen, which shows less sand grit and fewer footprints than gloss.

Our process for Hillarys floors

We start by deciding whether your floor needs a recoat or a full sand, then follow these steps.

  1. Assess the floor

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

  2. Prepare the boards

    Nails are punched, loose boards secured and the room made ready.

  3. Sand the field

    The main sander works across the open floor to remove coatings and level the boards.

  4. Edge and fill

    Perimeter sanding, then gaps and holes filled for a smooth, even surface.

  5. Seal and polish

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

Why coastal floors need extra care

Hillarys, in the City of Joondalup, is home to Hillarys Boat Harbour, AQWA and Westfield Whitford City, with homes ranging from 1970s brick-and-tile to modern two-storey builds. Wherever you are in the suburb, the coast is close – and so is the sand.

Floor sanding Hillarys – common questions

How often should a coastal floor be recoated?

It depends on traffic, but many busy Hillarys homes benefit from a recoat every few years. Recoating before the finish wears through is cheaper than a full sand later.

Which floor finish is best near the beach?

Matt and satin finishes hide fine scratches from sand better than gloss. We’ll explain the options and how each one should be cleaned.

Can you sand floors in a two-storey home?

Yes. We sand and coat upstairs and downstairs floors, including landings, and we plan the order so you can still move around the house.

Do you install new floors as well as sanding?

Yes. We supply and install laminate and pre-finished engineered timber floors, with skirting boards and trims to finish.

How much does floor sanding cost in Hillarys?

It depends on floor size, condition and the work needed – a recoat costs less than a full sand. Call 0409 082 026 for a free quote.
