West Hougham: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, West Hougham included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in West Hougham?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including West Hougham. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
