Wood floor repair in Birdbrook

Landlord and trade work in Birdbrook

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Wood floor repair in Birdbrook, done in place

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Common call-outs are for chipped board edges and burns, across solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Birdbrook. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Birdbrook

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Birdbrook?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
