What a typical HDB flat costs to polish
For a standard 3-room HDB flat (roughly 750 sq ft of flooring), a full parquet polish typically lands between $1,000 and $2,500, depending on floor condition and whether you choose water-based or oil-based varnish. A 4- or 5-room flat scales up proportionally with floor area.
If the floor also needs repairs — loose planks, a water-damaged patch, a few burnt marks — that gets quoted separately based on what's actually wrong, on top of the polishing cost.
Factors that change your quote
- Floor condition. Deep scratches, stains, or water damage need more prep work before polishing, which increases cost.
- Varnish type. Water-based varnish tends to cost more than oil-based, though it dries faster and has less odour.
- Project size. Larger areas are usually priced per square foot; small jobs are often quoted by room.
- Repairs needed. Loose planks, termite damage, or water-damaged blocks add to the base polishing price.
- Access and building rules. Condos with lift booking requirements or limited working hours can affect scheduling and cost.
