Restore the original floors in your Stirling home

Original 1960s timber floor sanded in Stirling

Most of Stirling was subdivided and built on in the 1960s, when solid timber floors were standard in family homes. Many are still there today – some under carpet, others polished long ago and now worn and dull. Floor sanding in Stirling brings these floors back, removing old coatings and wear to reveal the timber’s natural colour.

We sand each room in stages from coarse to fine, edge-sand around the walls, fill gaps and nail holes, and then apply a polish finish in the sheen you choose. Older floors sometimes have a few loose or damaged boards, and we can secure or replace these first so the finished floor is solid underfoot.

If your floor was polished more recently and is just looking tired, a recoat will restore its shine for much less than a full sand. We’ll tell you honestly which option your floor needs.

Our sanding process for Stirling floors

These five steps take an original floor from worn to polished.

  1. Site check and quote

    We look at the timber type, board condition and any old finish before giving a price.

  2. Clear and protect

    Rooms are cleared, nails set below the surface and doorways protected.

  3. Coarse to fine sanding

    Several passes with finer paper each time take the floor back to clean, flat timber.

  4. Edges, gaps and detail

    Edges and corners are sanded and nail holes and gaps filled to match.

  5. Finish coats

    The chosen finish goes on in coats, with drying time between each one.

Floor sanding in the heart of the City of Stirling

Stirling is home to the City of Stirling administration centre and Stirling Civic Gardens, with Stirling station on the Mitchell Freeway and Balcatta Senior High School on its northern edge. The suburb was part of Balcatta until 1976 and is mostly made up of detached family homes.

Floor sanding Stirling – common questions

Are the floors under carpet in older Stirling homes usually sandable?

Often, yes. Many 1960s Stirling homes have solid timber floors under carpet. Once the carpet, underlay and staples are removed, most can be sanded and polished.

What if some boards are loose or damaged?

We can secure loose boards and replace damaged ones before sanding so the floor is solid and finishes evenly.

How many coats of finish do you apply?

It depends on the product and the floor, but most floors receive several coats for durability. We’ll explain what’s included in your quote.

Will the floor colour change after polishing?

Yes – finishes bring out the timber’s natural colour and grain. Some finishes add warmth, while others keep the timber lighter. We’ll show you the options.
