Expertise

Flooring as an Investment

Your flooring is perhaps the largest piece of “furniture” in your home, playing a key role in its overall décor and ambiance. Investing in high-quality flooring or restoring your existing floors is one of the most significant investments you’ll make, right after your home and car. This investment adds both value and aesthetic appeal to your space, making it well worth careful consideration.

Tailoring Pricing to the Project:
Beyond Square Meterage

The Limitations of Per Square Meter Pricing

We strive for fairness and transparency in our pricing, but charging purely by the square meter can sometimes lead to inconsistencies. For instance, completing 30 square meters in one day is very different from spending three days in a smaller 10 square meter room. This makes a one-size-fits-all approach impractical.

Developing a Comprehensive Pricing Model

To overcome this challenge, we’ve developed a detailed pricing system that considers numerous factors, including:

    The type of floor
    The total area size
    The layout of the space
    The current condition of the floor
    Necessary repairs
    Humidity levels
    Location of the project

Additionally, we factor in the timing, such as whether the job needs to be done outside of normal business hours, during weekends, or within standard hours, and we estimate the number of people and time required to complete the job efficiently.

The Challenge of Undefined Objectives

Many businesses fail to establish clear goals or understand essential financial metrics like gross profit and break-even points. This leads to sporadic success. We rely on a strategic approach grounded in real numbers to ensure we deliver consistent, high-quality service.

Transform Your Floors: Start with a Detailed Estimate

If you’re ready to transform your floors, reach out with as much detail as possible, whether it’s sanding, cleaning, or anything in between. A detailed inquiry allows us to give you the most precise estimate possible. In some cases, we may need to visit your site to fully assess the project.

FAQs

Our pricing is based on multiple factors, including the type of flooring, total area size, floor condition, necessary repairs, and the job’s complexity. We also consider external factors such as humidity levels, project location, and scheduling requirements (e.g., weekend or after-hours work).

While we provide price ranges based on previous projects, floor restoration is not a one-size-fits-all service. The cost of restoring 10m² of intricate flooring can be significantly higher than a straightforward 30m² job. We take a tailored approach to ensure fairness and transparency.

Wood floor sanding and finishing typically costs £35-£55/m², depending on the floor’s condition, the chosen finish, and any additional treatments like staining or brushing. Premium finishes or complex jobs can reach £70-£125/m², especially when using high-end oils, lacquers, or colour treatments.

Basic stone floor cleaning and sealing start from £15/m², with polishing and refinishing typically falling between £25 and £50/m². Full grinding for floors with lippage, deep scratches, or etching can go up to £75/m², depending on the stone type and the extent of restoration needed.

For large commercial spaces, basic hard floor cleaning starts from £3/m², while deep cleaning, stain removal, and polishing typically range from £10 to £25/m². Specialised restoration and premium sealing for high-end finishes or heavily worn surfaces can reach £35/m² or more, depending on the requirements.

Carpet cleaning typically costs around £10/m², depending on the level of soiling and the type of carpet.

Upholstery cleaning is priced per seat, with costs averaging £60 per seat. This varies depending on the fabric type, level of soiling, and the required cleaning process.

Offsite Oriental rug cleaning typically ranges from £35 to £55/m², depending on the material, level of soiling, and any specialised treatments required. Delicate fibres and intricate patterns may require additional care, which can influence the final price.

We can provide an initial estimate based on photos, floor details, and measurements. However, for more complex projects or where conditions are unclear, an on-site assessment may be required to ensure an accurate quote.

Yes, commercial projects are typically more cost-effective due to their scale. Larger areas allow for efficient workflow, reducing the per-square-meter cost compared to small domestic jobs.

Our quotes cover all necessary steps, from preparation to cleaning, sanding, polishing, sealing, and finishing. Additional services like furniture moving, heavy stain removal or special treatments can be discussed if required.

Yes, smaller projects may have a minimum charge to cover setup, labour, and materials. This ensures that every job, regardless of size, receives the same level of professional care.

Project duration depends on the floor type, condition, and selected restoration process. Maintenance cleaning can be completed in a few hours, while full grinding, sanding, or refinishing may take several days, including curing time for protective finishes.

We accept bank transfers and online card payments. Full details will be provided with your invoice.

Yes, we typically ask for a deposit to secure your booking. The balance is due upon completion of the job.
