OUR AVAILABILITY:
Our lead time is usually one to two months out. Also, we do have gaps appear from time to time due to a booking moving or a gap appearing due to a cancellation. So, if you do book in with confirmed timing then we may be able to do your job sooner if a earlier booking gap appears.


WHAT WE DO:
Specialize in quality sanding & quality coating of a variety of timber floors old and new
Finish and re-finish cork floors depending on their condition
Provide clear polyurethane coatings as well as specific dark color staining in some cases only
At times uplift & remove old floor coverings depending on type and confirmed free of asbestos
Remove old glue residues depending on type
Collect up to 98% of all sanding dust with machine vacuum attachments
Organize asbestos tests of old floor coverings if needed
Punch and fill nail holes in your floor if required
Advise maintenance systems & after care products for your floors 


General Recommendations:
Please engage an experienced installer/builder to do any timber replacement if needed
Filling T&G gaps with filler is not recommended (we can discuss on site better options)
Sanding floors is a type of major renovation (there can always be minimal dust left afterwards)
It is best to refinish floors with renovations as late as possible to avoid contamination and damage
Carpets can cause fiber contamination so install carpets last


General Coating Recommendations:
Color of finished floors will be dictated by your timber and your coating product choice
Non toxic waterborne finishes will always provide a natural and lighter color in general
Solvent based finishes will always provide a richer color and can darken or yellow up over time 
We do not do oil or wax type finishes

We can do color staining from rich darker colors to even black (dependent on range of colors available)
Possibility of color staining can be dependent of sample tests done on your floor first


AFTERCARE:
We always recommend using the manufacturers guidelines for cleaning your floors - please ask
Wait till full cure times (of your chosen coating) before doing any damp mopping if needed
When moving in heavy furniture/appliances ONLY lift into place or protect floor with hardboard/ply underneath then slip out
Put protective pads on the feet of all furniture to limit scratching or denting (old cork works well)
Do not cover, place mats or use any cleaning products on your floor until coatings are fully cured
After cure, place foot mats at the entrance doors inside and outside to limit street grit
Protect your coatings from direct/bright UV light as much as possible
Protect your coatings from excess moisture or ongoing dampness
When mopping your floors to remove grime use only a damp mop or light spray and wipe
Do not use abrasive or acidic (low pH) cleaning liquids or steam mops
Avoid using cleaning products that contain silicon, oil or wax on polyurethane coatings
