Pricing guide

Price is mainly driven by the floor area, the existing condition of the boards and the level of finish you choose. Standard sanding usually covers multiple grit passes, minor filling and a few top coats, while premium or specialty coatings need higher-spec materials, extra application time and longer cure. Callout and hourly labour are typically charged separately, and after-hours attendance will usually increase the overall cost.

  • Floor area and layout

    Larger or more complex floor layouts generally require more labour time and materials.

  • Finish specification and coatings

    Premium oils, tints or bespoke coats require more application time and higher-cost materials than standard polyurethanes.

  • Board condition and repairs needed

    Minor filling and edging are usually included, but board replacement or major structural repairs add scope.

  • Number of sanding and coat passes

    Multiple grit passes and extra top coats increase labour and drying or curing time.

  • Access and site conditions

    Restricted access, difficult furniture removal or poor site access can make the job take longer.

Frequently asked questions

How does a premium finish differ?
Premium finishes typically use higher-spec products and more bespoke application steps, which often add labour and drying time. They may also require more skilled tradespeople and extended cure periods compared with standard finishes.
What repairs are included in a standard job?
A standard sand and polish usually includes multiple grit passes, minor filling and edging. Major repairs, such as board replacement or structural fixes, are generally excluded and are usually quoted separately if required.
Does the installer need to be registered?
This trade typically requires practitioner registration rather than an open unregulated status. You should confirm the provider is appropriately registered before work begins and ask for registration details if unsure.
How long before the floor can be used again?
Drying and cure times vary by finish and number of coats, so return-to-use times can differ. In most cases, standard finishes allow limited foot traffic sooner, while premium or specialty coatings often need an extended cure before full use.
