Flooring Somers
Somers · 3927 · Mornington Peninsula
Specifying a floor in Somers means looking at the house first. 1960s cottages and beach houses under mature ti-tree, many now permanent residences. Original cottage boards, frequently over shallow subfloor with limited ventilation.
We supply and install timber, engineered and hybrid flooring across Somers and the wider Mornington Peninsula, working from our Frankston base. Every job starts with a free measure and quote on site, because a floor plan tells you the area but not the condition.
WHAT’S UNDER THE FLOOR IN SOMERS
1960s cottages and beach houses under mature ti-tree, many now permanent residences.
Original cottage boards, frequently over shallow subfloor with limited ventilation. That matters because it determines your options. A sound timber subfloor opens up direct-stick and nailed installation; a slab means floating or direct-stick with the right adhesive; a subfloor with moisture problems needs that resolved first, or a waterproof product that sidesteps the issue entirely.
The village sits almost entirely under canopy, which keeps blocks cool and damp year-round.
90–140m². We measure every job rather than working off averages, but that’s the range most Somers homes fall into.

WHAT YOUR FLOOR HAS TO COPE WITH IN SOMERS
Salt-laden air is the constant here. It carries indoors on shoes and settles on surfaces, and over years it works at any finish that isn’t specified for it. Strong coastal light through large windows is the other factor — solvent-based finishes amber noticeably under that kind of UV exposure, while modern water-based systems hold their tone. Sand is the third: it’s abrasive, it gets tracked in every day through summer, and it’s the reason we push harder-wearing surfaces on this side of the Peninsula than we do inland.
Dense ti-tree canopy keeps the whole village shaded and humid, and Western Port frontage adds salt.

WHAT WORKING WITH US LOOKS LIKE
Free measure and quote. We come to you, measure properly, check the subfloor, and talk through what will and won’t work in your house. No obligation and no pressure.
Supply. Once you’ve chosen, we order through our trade accounts and coordinate delivery. Timber is acclimatised on site before installation — this isn’t optional, particularly in Somers where conditions can shift quickly.
Installation. Our installers handle subfloor preparation, the install itself, trims and transitions, and the clean-up. Work is completed to Australian Standards.
Aftercare. We’ll tell you how to look after it — which is usually simpler than people expect, and mostly about grit control at the door.
ALREADY HAVE TIMBER FLOORS IN SOMERS?
If the boards under your carpet are worth saving, sanding and polishing them is usually cheaper than replacing them — and we do that too.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you supply and install, or supply only?
Both. We supply the flooring and install it, which means one point of contact for the whole job rather than coordinating a supplier and an installer separately.
What flooring suits a Somers home best?
It depends on the house, but as a general steer, moisture-tolerant flooring suited to a shaded, humid coastal village. We’d want to see the subfloor before making a firm recommendation.
How much does flooring cost in Somers?
It varies with area, product and subfloor condition, so we quote rather than list prices. As a rough guide for job size: 90–140m². The free measure gives you a firm number.
How long does installation take?
Most residential jobs run two to four days depending on area and subfloor preparation. We’ll give you a timeframe with the quote.
Do you offer a free measure and quote?
