FAQs for Cheston
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Cheston is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
About our wood floor repair in Cheston
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring, and people most often call us about burns and gouges from moving appliances.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Repairing versus replacing in Cheston
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
