Common questions in Newtown St Boswells

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you cover the whole of the Scottish Borders?

Everywhere in the UK, Newtown St Boswells included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
