Hi Peter
Many thanks for a great job yet again - the floors look terrific, like new and make the rooms look so different. Steve has this morning credited your account - hope it goes through OK.
Once again our thanks for an efficient and stress free service.
Regards Steve & Ann
PRICES:
Prices are based on floor area. For sanding and three coats of varnish currently £38 per square metre and includes some minor repairs. Minor repairs would include fastening down a small quantity of loose floor boards and filling small cracks in a few boards 2 hours work maximum, after that a charge of £33 per hour will apply.
There is a minimum charge of £250 for small areas such as entrance halls, landings , toilets and very small bathrooms when these are restored as a single job but when restored with other rooms normal charges will apply.
Sand only is charged by the square metre...£30.00 square metre
Sand and three coats of varnish ...£38.00 square metre
Gap filling is charged by the square metre...£15.00 per square metre. Peter does not use filler for gap filling, he only use the filler for small repairs, such as cracks in the boards themselves. He uses MDF strips to fill the gaps so no shrinkage or drop out occurs and the overall finish is far superior to filler and an added bonus "no draughts"
Staining is charged by the square metre.......£15.00 Per square metre. Staining needs plenty of expert tender loving care and know how. In the wrong hands staining can end up looking very patchy. Peter has been doing this for 20 years and is highly skilled.
Restoration. First 2 hours free ...after that £33.00 per hour.
Examples of restoration work:
1. Laying boards after hearth removal
2. Replacing boards that have been made unsafe by wood worm
3. Some older houses - pre victorian - have differing widths and thickness of boards. This can lead to extra work when they need replacing or moving.
4. Landings can pose a time consuming restoration job, where potentially hazardous loose boards have no joists to nail them to because they have been removed to make way for a run of central heating pipes.
Restoration in these such cases is absolutely necessary and a small landing with this problem and the added minimum surcharge can end up being rather expensive. All floor coverings would need to be removed prior to quote being given to allow Peter to asses such areas accurately.
5. Stairs Sorry but Peter does not strip stairs anymore.
6. Carpet removal. Peter can take the old carpet up for you but can not dispose of it. Taking the carpet up and putting it at the front of the house has an extra charge of £35 per room.
7. Hearth removal. To remove an existing hearth and replace with floor boards £250.00.
8. Hardboard removal This is sometimes found under the carpet or tiles and can be problematic to remove, it's also difficult to estimate how long this can take so for this Peter charges by the hour.
Hourly charge as for restoration. £33.00 an hour
PLEASE NOTE
Hallways.
We only sand hallways when at least one other room in the house is being sanded. Hallways are very un-economical for us when sanded at our standards. As we will not drop our standards we are unable to take on hallways as a single job.
CALL OUT CHARGE Visits to measure for a quote and view the property for potential restoration are free.
There is a call out fee for all other visits where you require Peter to put right problems that have naturally occurred since restoration or where accidental damage by you or persons known to you has in some way spoiled your floor.
The call out fee is £80.00. If any work is carried out there is a minimum charge totaling £250.00, this could be reduced only at Peters discretion to an hourly fee of £33.00 per hour on top of the £80.00. depending on the time spent.

If Peter is not not available to do the restoration for you we can at least help you to understand the process and even undertake the job yourself, but also by understanding the process yourself you should find it easier to question any company you may contact and also be able to tell the cowboys from the professional. We know this is difficult but showing you have some knowledge on the subject can be beneficial. We have produced instruction films specifically for these reasons. Click below to view.
