Fed up with flooring “pros” who:
- Change dates, don’t show up, then blame “the supplier”.
- Give vague quotes, then add “extras” mid-job.
- Rush prep and leave squeaks, gaps, or uneven levels.
- Promise a premium finish and deliver “close enough”.
When you choose First for Flooring, you get:
- Reliable scheduling and direct communication.
- Clear scope up front, no surprise add-ons.
- Craftsmanship you can see in the finish.
- Install or restore, whichever makes sense for your home.

FAQ
Quick answers that stop the back-and-forth.
If you still have questions after this, call. It is faster than guessing.
Do you do both installation and restoration?
Yes. We install solid timber, parquetry and engineered timber, and we also sand and polish existing timber floors.
How do I get the fastest quote?
Call 1800 1FLOOR. If you prefer a written quote, submit the form with your suburb, approximate m², and timeline.
Is engineered timber a “cheap option”?
Not automatically. Engineered can be an excellent option when chosen well and installed correctly. The wrong product and rushed install is what causes regrets.
Can old floors really be saved?
Often yes. Sanding and polishing can revive timber that looks tired. We will tell you honestly what is possible after assessing the boards.
How long does the job take?
It depends on m², prep needs, and the finish. We confirm timing during quoting, then we communicate clearly throughout.
Do you offer finish options?
Yes. We walk you through finish options so you know what it will look and feel like before committing.
