Andy @Localtiler has just kitted himself out with a budget type set up.
A 7” grinder and diamond cup for about £200 I think. And his dust extraction was around £3-400 approx. But that’s only from vague memory Andy, I’m sure he’ll let you know exactly.

I think guys who do this kind of work charge around a tenner a metre.

Big fat zero....
Tbh there not that popular down here.
I priced one about 3 years ago, but he was rushing to get it done, and it was still wet, so passed on it..
Last one I tiled was about 10 years ago !

I got my set up earlier this year I think it was, about £100 for grinder £100 for the dust cowel and £100 for the diamond cup. I got good ones so you could go cheaper. What vac have you got ? I have a dust extractor, not m class but it's a league above a Henry. i started just with that but the filter clogs after about 5sqm so I invested in a cyclone which allows you to sand all day without a clogged filter, you just take the standard pladtic bag off the cyclone and replace. Brilliant. I've sanded about 5 or 6 different floors this year alone. Over 200 Sqm pm me if you want to talk more about it and prices Andy

I’d hire your sanding gear mate, you’d only need it for a couple days max, probably one.
The likes of Brandon do complete set ups, including dust extraction.
Think that’s the way I’d go in your situation mate.
Do you good to do it yourself, least you'll learn. If you farm it out, you’ll be no better off.
Think that’s how I’d proceeed mate.
