How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Hemingstone

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repairing versus replacing in Hemingstone

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Hemingstone, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Hemingstone: your questions answered

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you charge for travel?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IP6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
