About Russell
Owner-operator. 20 years on the tools.
G'day, I'm Russell.
I sand and polish timber floors across Newcastle and the Hunter Valley. Phoenix Floor Sanding is a sole trader business — that means when you call, I answer. When you book a quote, I show up. When you book a job, I do the work. Start to finish, every job, no subcontractors.
I'm based in Merewether and most of my work comes from referrals across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens and the Hunter Valley. I use Bona professional sanding systems and finishes on every job — the industry standard and the reason your floors hold up over time instead of needing a touch-up after a season.
What you get when you hire me
- The owner on every job. Not an apprentice, not a subcontractor.
- Bona products throughout. The industry standard finishes used by certified Australian floor sanders.
- Local experience. I know the timber, the homes, and the coastal conditions in this part of NSW.
- Straight talk, fair price. No upselling, no surprise add-ons. I'll tell you what your floors actually need.
- Dust minimisation. Modern dust extraction equipment keeps the mess off your furniture.
- Reliable service. If something changes I call you in advance.
