• Interwar housing here typically used Australian hardwood rather than baltic pine, which means more thickness left and a more predictable stain result.
• A lot of these floors are still under original carpet. Lift a corner in a wardrobe before assuming there's nothing there.

Marrickville in brief

Interwar and Federation houses on generous blocks. This era used Australian hardwood rather than baltic pine, so more thickness and a more predictable stain result.

What comes up most around Marrickville: floor sanding, polishing & coating, board repairs. Interwar and federation stock, so that mix is typical for the area.

Licence requirements

Marrickville is inside the City of Sydney area, so those rules apply.

Costs

Sand and polish is $40 to $70 a square metre in Sydney. In a strata building, acoustic underlay adds $25 to $60 and a test report $400 to $1,200 — get those itemised.
