Terraces and semis almost throughout, much of it rented and much of it with original boards under decades of paint and carpet.
Newtown 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.
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.
No obligation. Takes 30 seconds.

Replacing damaged or cut boards before sanding — and the matching problem.
Changing the colour of a floor — and the one thing to do before committing.
