What affects the price in Alderton
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Alderton. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Alderton
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you cover Alderton?
We do. We send a technician to Alderton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
