Your questions about wood floor repair in High Hesket

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

What affects the price in High Hesket

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can price the job without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairing versus replacing in High Hesket

Replacing a board often 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

What a repair cannot fix

  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

You don’t 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.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in High Hesket, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Letting agents often send us photos 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.
