Preston Plucknett questions
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you come to Preston Plucknett?
We do. We send a technician to Preston Plucknett for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What affects the price in Preston Plucknett
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace in Preston Plucknett?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
