Common questions in Swavesey
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How much does wood floor repair cost in Swavesey?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What else we do in Swavesey
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
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 give you a fixed quote.
Repair or replace in Swavesey?
