10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Crossways

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

The process

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 any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What affects the price in Crossways

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

Most clients in Crossways get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common questions in Crossways

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
