Small workers' cottages and converted industrial buildings, with newer apartments layered in.
Floor Sanding and Polishing Sydney puts Erskineville property owners in touch with licensed floor sanders working across greater Sydney. Tell us the rough area and whether it's a house or an apartment and we'll match it to someone who covers your suburb — free call, no obligation.
Small workers' cottages and converted industrial buildings. Cottage floor areas are small, which carries proportionally more setup cost per square metre.
What comes up most around Erskineville: floor sanding, baltic pine, board repairs. Cottage and warehouse stock, so that mix is typical for the area.
Erskineville is inside the City of Sydney area, so those rules apply.
Licensing is state-level and identical here: a Building Commission NSW contractor licence for work over $5,000, and HBCF cover at $20,000 and above. Strata by-laws, by contrast, are set building by building.
Floor sanding is quoted per square metre, so the single biggest thing you can do is have the area measured properly rather than estimated over the phone.
Indicative ranges are published here, with a firm price after the boards have been inspected.
No obligation. Takes 30 seconds.
