FAQs for Blackbird Leys

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Oxfordshire.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

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.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

How we price wood floor repair

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

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

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

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
