What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Hallgarth

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most customers in Hallgarth get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Hallgarth questions

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do you come to Hallgarth?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Hallgarth from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
