Questions from Alresford

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you work in Alresford?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Alresford and the rest of Essex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

Across the UK, so Alresford is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

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 will tell you.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Alresford clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What affects the price in Alresford

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

If you manage property in Alresford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
