Church Hill questions

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Church Hill and the rest of Edinburgh. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Church Hill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
