Charing Heath: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Charing Heath?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

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

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Charing Heath. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Charing Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Honest limits

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

  • 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 booking.

Materials we work on in Charing Heath

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

For landlords and businesses

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

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Read our full price list.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
