Common questions in Sherburn Hill

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Do you work in Sherburn Hill?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Sherburn Hill. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Repairing versus replacing in Sherburn Hill

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Read our pricing.

What affects the price in Sherburn Hill

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sherburn Hill. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sherburn Hill

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

For anyone letting property in or around Sherburn Hill, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
