For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

FAQs for Binchester

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Binchester, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Binchester

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Burns
  • Chipped board edges

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Solid wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Laminate flooring
  • Engineered wood

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
