Quick answers to the questions I get on every quote. If yours isn't here, just call.
A standard three-bedder around Charlestown is usually two to four days, all up — sand, fill, three coats and dry time. A lounge and hallway I can knock over in a day with the Bona water-based gear.
Bare timber sand and a three-coat Bona finish generally starts around $35 to $45 per square metre. Older floors that need filling or repair work add to that. On-site quote, no surprises after.
Nah, not really. While I'm sanding you just stay out of the work area. While I'm coating, the eco-friendly Bona water-based stuff is low odour so most people are fine in other rooms. Pop the windows open and you're sweet.
Yep, the floor needs to be empty before I start. I'll tell you exactly what needs to clear out at the quote. If you need a hand or a removalist, I know a few locals.
With the Bona water-based finishes, socks-on the same arvo, two or three hours after the last coat. Furniture back the next day. Full cure takes about a week, so go a bit easy for the first few days.
Everything you'd find in a Hunter house — blackbutt, spotted gum, brushbox, ironbark, tallowwood, sydney blue gum, cypress, parquet, Tassie oak, the lot. Engineered and imported boards too.
Almost always, yeah. Deep scratches, marks, dents — most of it sands out. I've brought eighty-year-old hardwood back from the dead. I'll have a look and tell you straight what's possible.
Yep — split, cupped, water-damaged or rotten boards get pulled out and swapped for new planks matched to your existing timber. Once it's all sanded back as one floor, you can't tell the new from the old.
I run HEPA dust extraction off the sander, so the bulk of it gets caught at the source. There's always a bit of fine dust in the air, that's just the nature of it — but nothing like the old days. Cover anything precious in adjacent rooms just in case.
Yep. I use Bona's water-based, low-VOC range on every job. They're certified low-emission, kinder to the air in your home, and tougher than the old solvent-based stuff. Better for you, better for me, no compromise on the finish.
Yeah, and you should think about it before your floor's worn through. A light scuff and a fresh coat is way cheaper than a full sand, and it'll buy you another decade.
Never. Same bloke quotes the job, does the work, hands you the keys. That's the whole point of calling me instead of a big mob.
Soft broom or vacuum, damp microfibre mop — never a steam mop, the heat wrecks the finish. Bona Floor Cleaner if you want the right stuff. Felt pads under the furniture, mats at the doors, no high heels and no dragging. Easy.
Easiest way is to call 0415 737 195. If I'm on the tools I'll get back to you the same day. No charge, no obligation, no hassle.
