Advice
Questions from Lower Porthpean
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you come to Lower Porthpean?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lower Porthpean for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we are working on.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Lower Porthpean. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Lower Porthpean. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lower Porthpean. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole floor
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
