Common questions in Wotter
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you work in Wotter?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Wotter from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How much does wood floor repair cost in Wotter?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your PL7 postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wotter as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
