Suburb · greater Sydney
One of the most intact Victorian terrace precincts in the country, tightly packed and almost entirely heritage-controlled.
Floor Sanding and Polishing Sydney puts Paddington 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.
One of the most intact Victorian terrace precincts in the country. Baltic pine as a rule, often sanded repeatedly through decades of renovation, with narrow frontages and no parking.
What comes up most around Paddington: floor sanding, baltic pine, board repairs. Terrace heritage stock, so that mix is typical for the area.
Paddington 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.
Area, condition and number of coats move the number. Whether the timber is baltic pine or hardwood — and how many sands it has already had — moves it again.
