Restoration flooring cost in Hove (2026 guide)
Most Hove homeowners we survey want one thing first: a clear answer on what floor restoration will really cost — fitted, finished and warrantied. Below is how we price floor restoration jobs across Hove, what swings the number up or down, and where shop pricing tends to hide costs that only appear on fitting day. Hove's mansion blocks often have lease clauses requiring 18dB acoustic underlay — we always check the lease before quoting.
What matters for floor restoration in Hove
- Supply rates in Hove typically sit £45–£95/m² for restoration stock at the spec we recommend.
- Fitting in Hove ranges £25–£55/m² depending on pattern (straight plank vs herringbone vs chevron) and access.
- Subfloor prep — SLC, ply overlay, moisture testing — is the line item most Hove shop quotes leave out.
- Removal of existing flooring, skip hire and scotia/beading are quoted as separate, fixed costs so nothing gets bolted on later.
- We dust-extract sand on site so you can stay in the property; gaps are filled with resin-and-sawdust slurry matched to the boards before staining.

Hove FAQs
- What's the average floor restoration cost in Hove?
- For most Hove homes we see, a fitted restoration job lands £75–£140/m² all-in. Higher-end spec (wide plank, herringbone, premium oil) sits above that — we'll always break the quote out so you can see exactly where the money goes.
- Why are some Hove floor restoration quotes much cheaper?
- Usually because subfloor prep, moisture testing, beading and waste removal aren't in them. We price those line by line up front so the day-one number is the final number.
- Do you charge for the Hove survey?
- No — surveys across Hove and the surrounding Brighton / Portslade area are free, and we'll send the written quote within 48 hours of the visit.
- Can I supply my own restoration and just have you fit it?
- Yes, but it changes the warranty. When we supply and fit, you get one team, one warranty and a guaranteed product match. Fit-only is quoted at a higher rate per m².
Summary
In short: floor restoration in Hove is mostly priced on subfloor condition, install pattern and finish — and we put all three on the page rather than burying them.
