Poynton questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Poynton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Poynton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
