Your questions about wood floor repair in West Knighton
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover West Knighton?
We do. Repair technicians travel to West Knighton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What affects the price in West Knighton
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for West Knighton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
