The best finish depends on traffic levels and aesthetic preference. Staining in Plymouth costs £18–£38/m². Water-based polyurethane is the most popular choice for a durable, low-odour finish suitable for occupied homes. Hard-wax oil gives a more natural look but requires annual maintenance oiling.

A single room in Plymouth takes approximately one working day to sand and apply coats. A whole 3-bedroom home averages £2,000 and takes 3–4 days. Allow 24–48 hours between coats and 72 hours before returning furniture.

It is strongly recommended to vacate the property during sanding and finishing in Plymouth. Even with dustless equipment, fine particulates and finish fumes require good ventilation. Water-based polyurethane reduces the vacating period compared to oil-based products. Most contractors recommend 24–48 hours out of the home after the final coat.
