Local timber floor care
A considered floor sanding plan for Te Atatū
Te Atatū Peninsula's housing is mostly brick-and-tile and weatherboard family homes from the 1960s and 70s, spread along the peninsula towards Te Atatū Peninsula Reserve and the harbour edge, with some newer infill housing on smaller subdivided sections. Solid rimu or matai floors under carpet are common in the older homes, and generally respond well to a full sand once uncovered, though board gaps and squeaks typical of the era are addressed during preparation. Because the peninsula is surrounded by the Waitematā Harbour on three sides, some properties closer to the water experience more airflow and humidity than homes further inland towards the motorway, which we factor into drying time and coating recommendations. Newer infill homes are more likely to have engineered timber flooring instead of solid boards. We check timber species, board condition and harbour exposure on site before confirming a written scope for your Te Atatū property.
- Assessment of rimu or matai floors under old carpet
- Harbour exposure and moisture check where relevant
- Coarse-to-fine sanding, including edges and corners
- Durable finish suited to family living

How it works
How long does floor sanding take for a typical Te Atatū home?
A single-level Te Atatū Peninsula home is usually sanded and coated within one to two working days. Older homes needing carpet uplift or board repairs often need an extra day. Properties closer to the harbour edge may need slightly longer drying time between coats depending on humidity at the time of the job.

2. Prepare
