Timber floors add warmth and character to any home, but years of daily living can leave them scratched, dull or uneven. The good news is that most timber floors can be completely restored without replacing a single board. Professional sanding and resurfacing brings back the natural colour, grain and beauty of the wood

For sellers, this upgrade instantly lifts presentation and helps create that “move‑in‑ready” feel buyers love.
1. Floor Assessment
We inspect the timber for damage, loose boards, nails and previous coatings to ensure a smooth, consistent sanding process.
2. Professional Sanding
Using commercial‑grade equipment, we remove old coatings and level the surface through multiple sanding stages. Edges and corners are finished by hand for a flawless result.
3. Choosing the Finish
Select from water‑based polyurethane, solvent‑based polyurethane or natural oils — each offering different levels of durability, sheen and warmth.
4. Applying the Coating
Multiple coats are applied with light sanding between each layer. The final coat delivers a clean, even, beautifully restored finish.
Most homes are completed within a few days, depending on the size of the area and the type of finish chosen. Water‑based products dry quickly, while solvent‑based coatings need a little more time before furniture can be returned.
Freshly restored timber floors brighten a home, highlight the natural grain and instantly elevate the overall look and feel of every room.
At Market Ready, we specialise in timber floor sanding and resurfacing — and the transformation is significant. Buyers love the look of beautifully restored floors, but they rarely want to take on the work themselves. The dust, noise and perceived hassle often become reasons to hesitate or reduce their offer.
By completing the work before going to market, we remove a major objection and turn it into a standout selling point. Your home presents better, feels more cared for and leaves a stronger first impression.
With Market Ready, you’re not just refreshing a floor you’re elevating the entire home.
From small repairs to big projects, we’ve got you covered.
