Floor Sanding

You don’t need to do anything dramatic to add character and value to your property. Simply have your timber floors sanded and recoated for a new and refreshed look. It gives your property that classic-modern appearance you’ve always been after – especially good prior to putting your property on the market.

7 good reasons why you should have your floors sanded and polyurethaned:

• Adds life to your floors

• Timber floors add value to your property

• Timber flooring lasts longer than carpet, vinyl, tiles, and other laminate floorings

• It’s ideal for people with allergies and other sensitivities – no more carpet mites or other nasties!

• Easy to maintain and dust-free

• Avoid carpet stains that are hard to remove – good for rental properties

• Simple re-coats make your floors look refreshed and new again.

Rubbish Removal

A lot of rubbish can be gathered from our work, in the form of dust, sand paper and empty polyurethane containers. That’s why you can rest assured in the knowledge we take care of it all! We will dispose of all site rubbish correctly and efficiently for you so that you can kick back, relax and know that we have the job taken care of.

Also, all our work vehicles are serviced every 10,000km so NO nasty oil leaks will be left on your driveway once we have left your property.

We dispose of ALL our rubbish including the disposal of the carpets and underlays that we lift in preparation for the floorsanding.

Water Sealing

With the recent increase in the leaky buildings saga, water sealing has become even more popular and necessary than ever.

Before you lay carpet or thin board for vinyl or tiles, we will fill all the cracks and holes in your floor with epoxy filler – eliminating those airy drafts. We will then give the particle or plywood a leveling sand commonly known as a builder’s cut before applying a water-borne polyurethane. This seals all the pores of the wood and protects your underlying floor against water damage, rot and swelling for years to come.

Halls & Gymnasiums

Halls, gymnasiums and other large commercial spaces such as pubs, bars, restaurants and nightclubs are also areas we focus on.

We understand these large areas are more susceptible to high foot traffic and because of this we have procedures to combat this and ultimately provide a long lasting floor.

Northcote College, Auckland Museum, St Johns Church Northcote, City Life Hotel, Bathroom & Kitchen showrooms are just some of the large projects undertaken by us here at Active Floorsanding Services.*
