Federation and interwar houses with a substantial stock of interwar walk-up flats. Prime parquetry territory — block flooring under later carpet is common here.
What comes up most around Summer Hill: floor sanding, strata approval, acoustic underlay. Federation and interwar stock, so that mix is typical for the area.
Summer Hill 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.
The core job — taking a tired timber floor back to bare wood.
Getting owners corporation approval before the floor goes in — in the right order.
Meeting the noise rating your by-law sets — and proving it.
Block and mosaic parquetry — slower, more skilled, and easy to ruin.
