Local timber floor care
A considered floor sanding plan for Glenfield
Glenfield's housing is largely mid-century, with brick-and-tile and weatherboard homes from the 1960s through the 1980s spread across the streets around Glenfield Mall and further into the surrounding hills. Timber floors in these homes are commonly rimu or matai, often carpeted over decades ago and never sanded, or sanded once some years back and now due a recoat. Because Glenfield was built up over a fairly compact 20-year period, we see a lot of consistency in what we find under the carpet — solid boards in reasonable condition, sometimes with squeaks or minor gaps from age rather than major damage. Some streets have seen more recent renovation and infill housing, which more often has engineered timber or newer coating systems already in place. We check timber species, prior sanding history and board condition on site before recommending a full sand, a recoat or repairs first for your Glenfield property.
- Assessment of rimu or matai floors under old carpet
- Board gap and squeak repairs where needed
- Coarse-to-fine sanding, including edges and corners
- Recoat option where the existing finish is sound

How it works
How long does floor sanding take for a typical Glenfield home?
A single-level Glenfield home is usually sanded and coated within one to two working days. Where original carpet is being uplifted for the first time to reveal timber underneath, or where board repairs are needed, an extra day is common. Homes due only a recoat, where the existing coating is still sound, are typically the fastest to complete.
1. Inspect
We assess timber type, floor thickness, movement, moisture, damage and access.
2. Prepare
Furniture is cleared and agreed repairs or protruding fasteners are addressed.
3. Sand
Progressive sanding removes the old surface and refines edges and corners.
4. Finish
The selected coating is applied with practical drying and full-cure guidance.
