FAQs for Sighthill

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you work in Sighthill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sighthill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How we handle wood floor repair in Sighthill

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We regularly repair solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood, and people most frequently call us about chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. 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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Sighthill. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

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.

  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Sighthill

  • Engineered wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sighthill as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
