Timber Floor Sanding & Polishing Pricing, Costs And Breakdown
Many people ask us for a ballpark quote or a fixed price, and this is almost impossible to do. Each floor is unique and will require different skills to perform the job required. If we had fixed pricing, it would not be in anyone’s favour, so we price each job individually and cost each stage of work. Pricing for floor sanding and polishing usually has four common factors, though.

Condition Of The Timber Floor Surface
This is usually the most important factor as it will dictate what we can and can’t do, if any repairs are necessary and how quickly we can work
Type Of Flooring
There are many types of wooden flooring, some are designed to be re-sanded and polished over time, while others will require a different approach
Type Of Finish
This usually involves the top surface treatment which can vary wildly depending on the type of wooden floor you have
Size Of Floor Area
This obviously dictates how much work there is to do. Sometimes access and ventilation can be a factor too

Yes. Removing furniture is the responsibility of the owner and should be done prior to the arrival of our professionals.
Where possible pre-sanding your kitchen area before installation is a good idea. This provides an opportunity to make any repairs and ensures a level and clean surface for your kitchen to be assembled, minimising the risk of marking the new kitchen. After installation we will return to complete your floor.
Ideally, floor sanding should be one of the last trades on the job and completing any significant work prior is a good idea. Generally, floors are done after the interior is painted and other trades have completed their work, however, this is unique to each project, and we will work with you to facilitate a smooth process.
