FAQs for Knowle West
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Knowle West?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Knowle West
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Knowle West
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Knowle West use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Knowle West, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
