Beachside units and waterfront homes around Southport ask a lot of a timber floor - salt, sand and bare feet. We sand, polish and re-coat them to a finish that handles coastal living.
Southport runs from older beach shacks and walk-up units to renovated waterfront homes. We see everything here: cupped hardwood near the water, parquetry in the original blocks and engineered oak in the new apartments.
Salt air and sandy traffic wear a coat faster on the Broadwater than almost anywhere. Catch it before the timber greys and a recoat is quick and cheap - leave it too long and it’s a full sand-back.
The jobs we’re called out for most around here.
Tired and faded boards cut back and rebuilt to a hard-wearing finish that suits the room.

“Our floor near the water was looking grey and tired. They brought the warmth back and it’s holding up beautifully.” - Peter, Southport
We’re in and around these suburbs every week:
The questions we get asked most around here - answered straight.
We price by the square metre, and the rate depends on your timber, the state of the boards and the finish you choose - a heavily-coated old floor is more work than a light re-coat. Around Southport we see a lot of coastal hardwood, original parquetry blocks and engineered oak in newer units, and we’ll measure yours and give you a firm, no-obligation price before we start.
Not the way we do it. Our sanders run dust extraction that captures the vast majority of dust right at the cutter, so there are no dust clouds through the house. We mask off doorways and leave the site clean - it’s the number-one reason Southport locals call us back.
Usually, yes. Cupped, scratched, gappy or previously-coated floors are our bread and butter - most Southport jobs are unit re-coats, salt-worn living areas and parquetry restoration. Where a board really is beyond help we’ll replace just that one and blend it in, rather than re-laying the lot.
It comes down to the look and the traffic. Satin is the easy all-rounder - it hides marks and feels natural underfoot; gloss is rich and wipes clean; limewash and natural oils give that pale, coastal feel. We’ll match the right coating to your timber and how you live.
Most Southport homes take two to four days, depending on the area, the number of coats and drying time between them. You’ll get a clear schedule with your quote, including when it’s safe to walk on the floor and move the furniture back.
