"Cost's will vary based on size and condition"

Quick Takeaways

  • Floor sanding prices vary because every timber floor has different conditions, preparation needs, and levels of restoration required.
  • Labour intensity is the biggest factor in cost. Older floors, glue, staples, stains, or uneven boards require more time and materials.
  • Every project receives a customised onsite quote, backed by a Q.B.C.C. contract for transparency and homeowner protection.

Why We Don’t List Fixed Prices Online

Every timber floor is different. Some need light sanding, others need deep restoration, repairs, glue removal, or levelling. Listing a single price range online would be misleading, and often inaccurate.
Instead, we inspect your floor in person and give you a clear, itemised quote based on its actual condition. No surprises, no hidden extras.

The Overall Cost

In practice, the overall cost depends on several variables—with labour intensity being a key factor. Our commitment is to deliver exceptional workmanship. Do keep in mind that quality levels within the floor sanding and polishing industry vary. This variation is directly reflected in both the final appearance of your floor as well as the overall cost. It is always wise to compare detailed quotes and conduct a bit of research before selecting a company. For example, all our clients receive a comprehensive Q.B.C.C. contract for added protection.

New & General Floors

For new or generally maintained floors, our package covers a completed polished finish. This includes thorough sanding, detailed surface preparation, and multiple layers of a high-quality protective finish. However, certain aspects can alter the final price, such as:

  • Removal of existing floor coverings
  • Application of stains
  • Unique surface conditions

Each floor’s condition and history dictate whether additional work is necessary.

Refurbishing Older Floors

Older timber floors can present a range of challenges requiring extra work or materials. For instance, an aged floor might need:

  • Leveling to correct uneven areas
  • Treatment for stubborn stains
  • Stripping off old coatings

Such variables extend the time and resources needed to restore your floor, ensuring it meets our high standards.

Accurately Estimating Your Project

Real-World Examples of Cost Variability

Labour and Materials

Example 1: Take the example of an aged hardwood floor covered with stubborn glue and a multitude of embedded staples. These challenges can quickly wear down sanding belts and require the use of alternative methods.. The increased material consumption and extended labour time directly affect the cost. This example underscores why floors with varying conditions will always have differing estimates.

Example 2: Imagine a timber floor that has suffered borer damage. In such scenarios, sections of the floor may require replacement with new timber before work even begins. The cost of these materials varies with the type and grade of timber available, and market conditions can further influence pricing. Each project, therefore, receives a fully custom quote.
