Choosing a repair company

How we handle wood floor repair in Beer

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Typical jobs include gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, in wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire floor

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Beer

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Beer: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Are there extra charges for Beer?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, 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.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
