Questions from Flowton

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Flowton?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Flowton

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Flowton

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Where you are, by postcode

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. 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 you book, with no extras added later.

  • A year’s guarantee on all work

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
