At Harbour Floorsanding we believe that revitalising a timber floor from beneath old carpet, tiles or vinyl is achievable. New Zealanders have a love affair with timber floors. With their natural wood-grain pattern, floor boards hide a multitude of spills and provide a neutral backdrop that ties in well with any décor.
For many homeowners the best thing about timber floors is that they’re already there. Most houses built in New Zealand during the earlier part of the 20th century were blessed with floors made from durable native timber. It’s just a matter of restoring them from beneath the unsightly old carpet or vinyl.
Brendon has a reputation for quality floor sanding, restoration and honestly priced work. Rest assured you are employing someone who cares about their customers and provides you with a service you deserve.
We hope you enjoy viewing our spectacular before and after pictures and inspire you to have your timber floor renovated by a professional specialist at Harbour Floorsanding.

Polyurethaned timber floors are ideal for rental properties as spills can easily be wiped up before they stain, ensuring you will never have to worry about maintaining a stain filled carpet again. You can prolong the life of a polyurethaned floor by re-glazing between tenancies.
