Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

How we handle wood floor repair in Creekmouth

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, we can generally put it right, on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you are in Creekmouth and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

FAQs for Creekmouth

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Repairing versus replacing in Creekmouth

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
