Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Abbey Wood

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

If you manage property in Abbey Wood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Abbey Wood. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Questions from Abbey Wood

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole floor and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
