Common questions in Forest Side
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Isle of Wight. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When to call us in Forest Side
Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Chipped board edges
- Burns
- Dents from dropped items
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How to look after the finish
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What preparation is included
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
