What moves the price up or down
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.

If it is not written down, it is not quoted
- VAT position stated clearly so you are comparing the same number.
- A written scope naming every surface: walls, ceilings, woodwork, radiators, doors and frames.
- The number of coats per surface, not just the word decorate.
- The specific paint brand, product line and finish, so you can price the tin yourself if you want to.
- Preparation stated separately: filling, sanding, caulking, stain blocking and mist coats.

On walls we default to a washable matt in circulation spaces and a flat matt where nothing touches, because sheen on a large flat plane shows every imperfection in the plaster behind it.
