Terraces and Federation cottages, much of it unrenovated in pockets, which is where the best original floors are.

Terraces and Federation cottages, much of it unrenovated in pockets, which is where the best original floors are.
Petersham 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.

The finish itself — water-based or solvent, and how many coats.
Replacing damaged or cut boards before sanding — and the matching problem.
