It could be done either way. If done before flooring/revarnishing, then make sure that the carpentry are protected with plastic sheet, to prevent possible tarnishing especially at the footing.If done after revarnishing, then make sure that the new floor is protected to prevent accidental scratches by the carpenter during installation.In my view, probably better to do the revarnishing before carpentry should there are lots to install.- Cleaning?I couldnt see the advantage of having the cleaning done so early as listed. The overall cleaning before handover is normally included in the quote (means it is not free).Are you only revarnishing the parquet, with a re-grinding? If so, then the parquet is first sanded, vacuumed, and finally varnished. It sounds very straight-forward, but the devil is in the details.1. All bathrooms (and areas with tiling done) should be protected or sealed, before sanding starts. Of course, also protect the carpentry as stated above.2. Areas around the door frames, window frames (if there are), footings of carpentry should be properly sanded or treated (if done manually, not by machine).3. The dust after sanding should be thoroughly removed by blower & vacuuming. 4. Varnish should be applied liberally and evenly. Let dry for at least 48 hours before stepping on.Hope these help.Cheers!
