Enjoy Trusted Timber Floors Perth

The timber floors cost in Perth can vary widely depending on several factors, including the type of timber, the size of the area, and the complexity of the installation. Here’s a general breakdown to help you understand what to expect:

Type of Timber Flooring

• Solid Hardwood Floors: Premium-quality hardwoods like Jarrah or Blackbutt typically range from $90 to $150 per square metre for materials alone. Installation costs may add $40–$60 per square metre.
• Engineered Timber: Slightly more affordable than solid hardwood, prices range from $70 to $120 per square metre, plus $30–$50 per square metre for installation.
• Laminate Flooring: Budget-friendly at $25 to $50 per square metre, with installation costs averaging $20–$40 per square metre.
• Bamboo Flooring: Eco-friendly and mid-range priced at $50 to $100 per square metre, with installation fees around $30–$50 per square metre.

Area Size and Preparation

Larger areas may benefit from bulk pricing, while smaller or more complex spaces could increase labour costs. Additional preparation, such as removing old flooring or levelling subfloors, may also affect the final price.

Customisation and Finishes

Special finishes, patterns, or unique designs like parquet flooring can add to the overall cost. At Allen Brothers Flooring, we provide transparent pricing and tailored quotes to suit your specific needs.

Timber Floor Installation process

• Step One: Consultation and Planning - Our process begins with a consultation to assess your space, discuss your design preferences, and recommend the best options. We’ll also provide a detailed quote tailored to your needs.
• Step Two: Preparing the Subfloor - A clean, level and dry subfloor is essential for a successful installation. This may involve removing old flooring, repairing imperfections, or applying a moisture barrier to protect the timber from dampness.
• Step Three: Acclimatising the Timber - It needs to adjust to the room's temperature and humidity levels before installation. We typically allow the timber floor to acclimatise for a few days to prevent warping or buckling.
• Step Four: Installation - Depending on the type of flooring, our team will either nail, glue, or float the timber planks. Precision is key to ensuring a seamless and stable finish. Engineered or floating floors may require a click-lock system, while solid hardwood floors are often nailed or glued.
• Step Five: Sanding and Finishing - For solid floors, sanding smooths out imperfections and prepares the surface for finishing. We apply high-quality finishes, such as oil or polyurethane, to enhance durability and give the floor its polished look.
• Step Six: Clean-Up and Inspection - After the installation is complete, we clean up the workspace and inspect the flooring to ensure it meets our high standards. We’ll also provide guidance on care and maintenance to keep your floors looking their best.

Can I see samples of timber floor finishes before choosing?

Yes — and we strongly recommend it.

We provide timber finish samples before you commit, so you can see exactly how different coatings, tones, and sheen levels will look in your own home, under your lighting, and against your existing décor.

What we typically provide:

• Sample boards showing different finishes and sheen levels
• Product options using premium systems (e.g. Bona, Osmo, and Whittle Wax)
• Expert guidance on durability, maintenance, and suitability for your lifestyle
• On-site comparison, so you can view samples directly on or beside your existing floor

What happens if something goes wrong during the job?

That’s a fair concern and it’s something we plan for before the job ever starts. With over 30 years of experience, we’ve seen just about every scenario, which means problems are rare, and when they do occur, they’re handled properly and without fuss.

Here’s what happens if something goes wrong:

• We take responsibility immediately: If an issue arises due to workmanship or process, we assess it promptly and take ownership.
• Clear communication, no run-around: You’ll be told exactly what’s happened, why it occurred, and how we’ll fix it.
• Licensed, insured protection: We’re fully licensed and insured, so your home is protected at every stage of the job.
• Work is rectified properly, not patched: We fix issues the right way. That’s part of our commitment to 100% craftsmanship and attention to detail.
• Backed by a 5-year workmanship warranty: If something related to our work shows up after completion, we stand behind it. 

Do you offer maintenance packages after the job is done?

Yes — we offer ongoing maintenance guidance and tailored care options after the job is complete, because a beautifully finished timber floor should stay that way for years.

Here’s how we support you after the job:

• Clear maintenance advice specific to your finish: We provide practical, easy-to-follow care guidance based on the exact coating system used — whether that’s water-based polyurethane, hardwax oil, or a specialist finish.
• Scheduled maintenance recommendations: For high-traffic homes or commercial spaces, we advise when light maintenance coats or refresh treatments should be considered to extend the life of the floor.
• Professional re-coating and refresh services: When your floor starts to show wear years down the track, we can assess whether a simple re-coat will restore it — often avoiding the need for full sanding.
• Long-term support from the same team: As a family-owned business, many of our clients return to us repeatedly over a decade or more. You’re not handed off to someone else.

How do I know my floors won’t peel, bubble, or discolour?

Issues like peeling, bubbling, or discolouration almost always come down to poor preparation, wrong products, or rushed workmanship.

Here’s how we ensure your floors stay flawless:

• Correct preparation comes first: Floors are thoroughly sanded, cleaned, and allowed to stabilise before any coating is applied. Contaminants, moisture, or old residues are the number one cause of peeling and bubbling — we eliminate them.
• The right product for the right floor: Not every finish suits every timber or environment. We only use premium systems from trusted manufacturers and match them to your timber species, subfloor conditions, and usage.
• Strict moisture and climate control: Bubbling and clouding often occur when coatings are applied in the wrong conditions. We monitor temperature, humidity, and drying times carefully — no rushed coats. 
• Experienced application, not shortcuts: With over 30 years in the trade, we apply finishes at the correct thickness, with proper curing time between coats. Too thick, too fast, or poorly applied coatings are what fail early.
• Backed by a 5-year workmanship warranty: If a problem ever relates to our workmanship, we stand behind it and fix it properly.

Do you offer a clear process and timeline upfront?

Yes — you’ll always receive a clear process and timeline before we begin.

• Clear scope before work starts: We explain the exact work involved — preparation, sanding stages, coating systems, drying times, and access requirements — so nothing is assumed.
• Realistic, experience-based timelines: Your timeline is based on the size of the area, timber condition, chosen finish, and curing requirements — not guesswork or rushed promises.
• Step-by-step job outline: You’ll know what happens each day, when floors can be walked on again, and when furniture can be returned safely.
• Transparent communication throughout: If conditions change (for example, extra prep is required), we explain it immediately and adjust the plan with you — no last-minute surprises.
• Quality over speed, every time: We never rush curing times just to finish faster. Proper drying and stabilisation are essential for long-term durability.
