Common questions in Dawdon
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Dawdon is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How much does wood floor repair cost in Dawdon?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
