PRICES
Prices are based on floor area. For sanding and three  coats of varnish currently £33 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 £20 per hour will apply.

There is a minimum charge of £220 for small areas such as entrance halls, landings , toilets and very small bathrooms.

Sand only is charged by the square metre...£22.00 square metre

Sand and three coats of varnish ...£33.00 square metre

Gap filling is charged by the square metre...£13.00 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.......£13.00 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.

Special effects. This would need to be discussed. Peter will advise you when he knows what kind of effect you are after and give you a quote for that work.

Restoration. First 2 hours free ...after that £20.00 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. These are usually stripped by hand. Go to Tracey at www.paintstrippingservice.co.uk we can highly recommended her wood stripping work.

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 £25 per room.

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.

Contact and questions.
You can e-mail us with your questions and queries, but please give us time as answering your questions can be very time consuming and is carried out on a completely none paid voluntary basis. This is one reason why we have filmed and put on line the sanding and gap filling process as there is only so much time we can spend answering questions. The instruction films are available as downloads and in order to get back just some of the money they cost us to produce and store on the net, we charge a small sum of £5 per film.
