10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Questions from West Barns

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Do you work in West Barns?

We do. Repair technicians travel to West Barns from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes West Barns. Prices don’t change with location.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Are there extra charges for West Barns?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Repairing versus replacing in West Barns

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
