Questions from Upper Street
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we are working on.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What affects the price in Upper Street
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Upper Street. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
