Why two similar houses get different quotes
Floor condition
Heavily damaged, painted, or uneven floors need multiple passes and more aggressive sanding, adding time.
Board repairs
Replacing damaged boards, securing loose ones, and removing nails are often needed before sanding.
Gap filling
Older floors often have gaps between boards. Filling with resin or slivers adds £5–£10 per sqm.
Finish type
Hardwearing lacquer is most cost-effective. Natural oils need more coats and maintenance but look beautiful.
Floor type
Parquet and herringbone floors take longer to sand due to grain direction changes — budget 30–50% more.
