Landlord and trade work in Appleby-in-Westmorland
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How we handle wood floor repair in Appleby-in-Westmorland
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for burns and dents from dropped items, in laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

FAQs for Appleby-in-Westmorland
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a 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. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- How much damage there is
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you are in Appleby-in-Westmorland and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
