Your questions about wood floor repair in South Gyle

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you come to South Gyle?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to South Gyle from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to South Gyle. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through 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.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
