Floor polishing in Canberra?

northside 25 May 2012 29 June 2020 3

I’d like to get the timber floors in my house polished and I don’t want to attempt to do it myself.

Can anyone give me a ballpark square meter cost and recommend one of the Canberra tradies who offer this service?

polished… or sanded and re finished? u should be able to get them polished for 10 bucks an hour…. Sanded starts at 45 m2 i believe. I can recommend a guy for that!

Sanded and refinished is what I’m after, thanks xyro.

Brian from Woodbridge Flooring is the man! If your floors are badly damaged… the price goes up… but Brian is very reasonable!
