About our wood floor repair in West Calder

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Typical jobs include dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Common questions in West Calder

Which areas do you work in?

All of West Lothian, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in West Calder

  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Laminate flooring

What affects the price in West Calder

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to West Calder. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Calder

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Common problems we fix in West Calder

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
