FAQs for Colinton
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What affects the price in Colinton
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Colinton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repairing versus replacing in Colinton
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
