Common questions in Hensingham
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are there extra charges for Hensingham?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Do you work in Hensingham?
We do. Technicians travel to Hensingham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Wood floor repair in Hensingham without replacing anything
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We are often asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and burns, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repair or replace in Hensingham?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
