These are the most frequent issues Canberra 2600 homeowners encounter that require a timber flooring, along with whether each is a realistic DIY repair or a job for a licensed professional.
Gaps in floating timber or laminate flooring in dry winter conditions are usually normal seasonal movement — boards expand in humidity and contract when dry. Gaps that persist year-round, or boards that click loudly underfoot, indicate either an uneven subfloor, insufficient expansion gap at the perimeter, or moisture-damaged boards. A flooring contractor can investigate by removing skirting boards and checking the subfloor.
Timber floors that have swollen, cupped or buckled from water exposure (flooding, appliance leaks, wet-mopping) must be allowed to dry fully before any remediation — using fans and dehumidifiers accelerates the process. Solid hardwood floors can often be re-sanded and refinished after drying; engineered timber and laminate floors are usually irreversibly damaged by saturation and require replacement.
The Australian Standard for subfloor flatness is 3mm over 1.8m for most floating floors. An uneven subfloor causes hollow spots, lippage and click-noise underfoot after installation. Concrete subfloors can be levelled with self-levelling compound; timber subfloors require sanding high spots or packing low ones. A flooring contractor should measure and correct the subfloor before installation, not after.
A dull or scratched polyurethane finish on solid hardwood can be screen-sanded and recoated without full sanding — a process costing $8–$15/m² and taking 1–2 days. Full resanding removes more timber but restores the surface completely. Engineered timber floors with a thin wear layer (less than 3mm) should not be sanded — check the manufacturer's specification before engaging a floor sanding contractor.
