Clint Fudge Floor Sanding

Clint Fudge Floor Sanding A comprehensive floor sanding and finishing service throughout Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula Which is cool, as it keeps us plenty busy.

A big part of our service is the restoration and repair of aged and damaged timber floors, along with glue removal. In short, we tend to take on the floor sanding and polishing jobs many others won't even look at. Another aspect of our floor sanding work is custom staining of timber floors. This side of floor sanding can be quite difficult and again, it's not a service all sanders offer. However,

over the years we've developed a fantastic staining and finishing method that gives you, the home owner, a lot of control regarding the colour and final finish. True custom stain work.

Restoring History: A Black Japan Masterclass in Frankston South

Some projects are standard, and others are true transformations. This 70-year-old Tasmanian Oak floor in Frankston South definitely belongs in the second category.

Walking into the home, we were greeted by rare, beautiful Tassie Oak boards measuring up to 5 metres long—a testament to old-growth timber that you just can't source in modern plantation-driven markets. Unfortunately, decades of clumsy 60s and 70s renovations had left the floor patched with mismatched pine and particleboard.

We cut out the old mistakes, repaired the layout with proper Tasmanian Oak, and prepared the surface with a superfine sand. The client envisioned a bold, dramatic look, so we coated the floor in full-strength Black Japan stain. It looks spectacular and had the added benefit of completely masking the heavy watermarks and pet stains left behind by the home's history.

Sealed with a highly durable Handley Lo-Sheen polyurethane finish, this floor is now a sleek, modern showstopper built to withstand the next 70 years.

Blackbutt Stairs
These stairs were fitted with so-called anti-slip strips. Yet all they did was cause trouble. The homeowners couldn't even walk on them in socks without pain, as the strips stuck up so high, and with shoes on they would catch the soles and trip them up. 13 years they'd put up with that.

Lisa and I came in and immediately we removed the troublesome metal strips. Filled the empty gaps with ebony Redifill filler, followed up with Fiddes Hard Wax Oil protection. This now gives anyone walking up or down the stairs visible cues with the dark stripes, and the hard wax finish provides a safety compliant non slip surface.

This is so much better. Better to look at. Better under foot and much safer.

Gotta' love that.

This was a wonderful and very difficult job Lisa and I took on last summer. Because of difficult logistics we had to perform the work over the Christmas / New Year break.
The job was the Community Hall in Upper Beaconsfield.

The floor was a mess, featuring numerous layers of different floor finishes...that required a lot of heavy sanding to get down to the raw timber. Being able to uncover such old Tasmanian Oak made all the effort worth it.

Lisa and I were feeling kinda' blessed to be given the opportunity to restore such an old floor, bringing it back to its original glory.

It's tough work, but we love it.

A beautiful, eclectic mix of Blackbutt and Yellow Stringybark make up the floors in this amazing Sorrento holiday home.

Four levels of flooring and two flights of stairs is enough to call each day a workout.

On this level, Lisa and I had to do it in two stages so that we could move the massive couch around. Basically, do half let it dry and harden then push the couch on a couple of dollys, to the finished section while we do the other half.
If you're thinking that sounds like a pain-in-the-neck you'd be correct.

Nearly finished.

The funniest thing about staining a floor, is that everyone has their way of doing it and, of course, they think their way is best..... Lisa and I are the same. We look at what everyone else is doing and go "That looks good, but our way is better"
It's all part of the flooring game.

The most important consideration is that the customer gets a kick-arse job, that's the most important aspect of the whole thing.

Lisa and I have been sharpening our sanding skills in this magnificent Sorrento holiday house.

We have four different floor levels to work on, and a couple of flights of stairs.

Basically, we're all over the shop as we prepare and get a coat on different levels and sections to protect the freshly sanded boards from anyone who walks on them.

Everyone concerned is over the moon with how beautiful it's transforming, given that it hasn't been sanded for some 15 odd years.

Tasmanian Oak - 133mm wide - Lo-Sheen Protection

Once again Lisa and I have created another outstanding floor renovation.
This Frankston home is 60 odd years old. The homeowners had decided to pull out multiple walls, creating one decent open plan living area...and it works a treat.
Before sanding and finishing the boards we went and patched up where all the old walls were, creating an invisible repair. No one would ever know this was once a series of smaller, pokey rooms.

For us, this is the most satisfying work of all. Not just merely a sand and polish, but a total restoration.
