What's in the base rate
Dust-extracted sanding through the grit sequence and the finish coats. Because we extract at the machine, you can normally stay in the property while the work happens, which saves the cost of moving out that a full re-floor might force.
What gets added
Every one of these is assessed at survey and priced as its own line rather than absorbed into a vague rate.
- Gap filling with a resin-and-sawdust slurry matched to your boards
- Board repairs, replacements and re-fixing squeaks before sanding
- Re-bonding lifted parquet blocks
- Stain or colour matching to an adjoining floor or joinery
- Removing very thick paint or old adhesive residue
Finish choice changes the price and the upkeep
Hardwax oil is repairable in patches and matte; UV-cured lacquer is harder wearing and lower maintenance. Both are site-applied on a restoration. We'll recommend based on the room's traffic and who lives in the house, not on margin.
Timeline and expectations
1–2 week lead time, and rooms are worked through in sequence where possible. A restored period floor keeps its history — nail holes, colour variation, character marks. If you want a perfectly uniform surface, that's a new floor, and we'll say so before you book.
