Common questions in Upper Coll
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you cover the whole of Na h-Eileanan Siar?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Do you work in Upper Coll?
We do. We send a technician to Upper Coll for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How we handle wood floor repair in Upper Coll
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Typical jobs include gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, on engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Advice
What affects the price in Upper Coll
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
