When the old floor can’t be saved in Nollamara

New solid timber floor in a Nollamara post-war home

Most post-war Nollamara homes were built with timber floors, and many can be restored. But some have been patched too many times, damaged by old leaks or partly replaced with sheet flooring over the years. When that happens, timber flooring in Nollamara means laying a new floor that still suits the age and style of the home.

New solid timber is laid, sanded and coated on site, so it can be finished in a sheen and tone that feels right in an older house. Narrower boards and warm finishes tend to suit post-war homes better than very wide, modern planks. We’ll help you choose a look that fits.

If the existing boards are sound enough, we may suggest restoring them instead – it’s usually better value. We’ll give you an honest recommendation.

Laying new timber in a Nollamara home

The old floor is assessed first, then the new one is laid and finished.

  1. Measure and quote

    We look at the rooms, talk through colours and styles and give you a written price.

  2. Subfloor assessment

    We make sure the base is flat, dry and sound enough for timber.

  3. Acclimatise the boards

    Timber settles to your home’s conditions so it moves less later.

  4. Fitting

    Boards are installed in a planned layout with gaps allowed for movement.

  5. Finish and trim

    Solid floors are sanded and coated; skirting, beading and nosings fitted.

Timber flooring Nollamara – common questions

When should an old floor be replaced rather than sanded?

When boards are badly damaged, too thin or have been patched with mismatched materials. We’ll tell you honestly which option makes sense.

What board width suits a post-war home?

Narrower boards usually suit older homes better than very wide modern planks.

Can new timber be laid over the old joists?

Usually, if the joists are sound. We check the subfloor before quoting.

Can the extension floor match the rest of the house?

We choose a similar tone so slab extensions and timber-floored rooms sit well together.
