What else we do in Lochhill
Lochhill questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
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.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you work in Lochhill?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Lochhill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Lochhill
- Laminate flooring
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lochhill
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lochhill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can price the job without visiting.
When to call us in Lochhill
Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chipped board edges
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Burns
- Dents from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- If travel is included in the price

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

The process
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
