Floor Sanding Tootgarook

Tootgarook rewards patience on a floor sanding job — the boards under most homes here (modest 1960s-70s beach housing with pockets of newer development) have real character once the old coating comes off.

Every Tootgarook floor we quote gets an honest condition read on-site. Some rooms suit a straight sand-and-polish. Others need targeted board repair first, or a stain to blend older repair work. We tell you which before you commit to the job.

Coastal exposure matters here. Homes in Tootgarook get the full range of Peninsula weather — southerly winds off the water, hard summer sun and salt spray on anything within a few streets of the beach. We match the coating system to the exposure: harder-wearing decking oil outdoors, UV-stable water-based finish inside, and where the house is a holiday let, a coating cycle that fits neatly between booking gaps rather than blocking out a peak weekend.

Every quote we do in Tootgarook starts with a walk-through. We check species, condition, existing coating, subfloor movement and any board damage. From there you get a clear scope, a starting rate from $35/m² for standard sand-and-polish work, and an honest recommendation on the finish system to use.
