FAQs for Blackdown

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can landlords book you?

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

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

How we handle wood floor repair in Blackdown

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackdown

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackdown use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When to call us in Blackdown

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How to care for the finish

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated 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
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Blackdown

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
