New timber floors and moving day in Rockingham

New timber floor before move-in, Rockingham

Rockingham sees plenty of people moving in and out, including defence families on posting cycles. One of the most common ways a brand-new floor gets damaged is on moving day – heavy furniture dragged across it, trolley wheels and grit from boots. Timber flooring in Rockingham should be installed with the move in mind.

Ideally, we install the floor before the furniture arrives. Then, on moving day, use floor protection sheets in main walkways, ask removalists to carry rather than drag, and fit felt pads to furniture legs before placing them. Leave rugs off until the finish has fully cured if the product requires it.

We’ll give you a simple checklist so the floor is still perfect after the boxes are unpacked.
