Scott Johnston Floor Sanding
Vinyl Plank Installation in Cairns
Bringing your timber floors back to life with personalised restoration, careful sanding and finishes chosen for Far North Queensland conditions.
Solid Foundations
Installed With Care
Upgrade your home with professionally installed vinyl plank flooring. At Scott Johnston Floor Sanding, we operate as an installation contractor, focusing solely on expert subfloor preparation and precise vinyl plank installation. You supply the planks, and we handle the groundwork and fitting with care. In Cairns’ humid conditions, preparation matters just as much as the product itself.
Before any plank is laid, we inspect for moisture, uneven areas and surface damage. Concrete grinding and levelling are completed where required to create a smooth, stable base. When the foundation is right, vinyl plank flooring sits flat, aligns cleanly and performs reliably from day one.

Level & Secure
Where Preparation Pays Off
Every successful vinyl plank installation follows a clear and methodical approach. Rushing preparation is where most flooring problems begin. That is why we treat subfloor preparation as the most important stage of the job.
- Assessment – We inspect the subfloor for moisture levels, damage and uneven areas that could affect performance.
- Preparation – Grinding, cleaning and levelling create a smooth, stable base so planks sit flat and secure.
- Installation – Each plank is measured, cut and aligned carefully for consistent spacing and a professional finish.
- Final Check – Seams, edges and transitions are reviewed to ensure everything looks clean and performs properly.
When the groundwork is done correctly, your vinyl flooring not only looks sharp but stands up to daily wear. If you are ready to install new vinyl planks, get in touch to arrange an inspection and start planning your project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can vinyl plank flooring be installed over existing tiles or concrete?
Vinyl plank flooring can often be installed over concrete, provided the surface is clean, dry and level. Existing tiles may be suitable if they are secure and even, but grout lines and uneven areas may require levelling first. Subfloor preparation determines whether installation over an existing surface is possible.
How long does vinyl plank flooring last in humid climates?
When installed correctly with proper subfloor preparation, vinyl plank flooring can last many years, even in humid climates like Cairns. Moisture testing and correct installation methods help reduce the risk of lifting, shifting or adhesive failure over time.
Do I need to level my concrete before installing vinyl plank flooring?
Yes, a level subfloor is essential for vinyl plank flooring. Even small dips or ridges in concrete can cause visible imperfections, movement or premature wear. Grinding and levelling help create a smooth surface so planks sit flat and lock together properly, improving durability and overall finish.
