Akebar: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across North Yorkshire.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace in Akebar?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Take a look at our full price list.

What affects the price in Akebar

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlord and trade work in Akebar

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Akebar, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
