Landlord and trade work in Great Lumley
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Wood floor repair in Great Lumley, done in place
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about burns and gouges from moving appliances.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Great Lumley and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When to call us in Great Lumley
Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chipped board edges
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Burns
- Dents from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Great Lumley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Great Lumley questions
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What areas do you cover?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you come to Great Lumley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Great Lumley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
