What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

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

Getting ready for the visit

FAQs for Hemley

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Suffolk.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Landlord and trade work in Hemley

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.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What affects the price in Hemley

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repairing versus replacing in Hemley

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 usually the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need wood floor repair in Hemley

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns
  • Chipped board edges
  • Gouges from moving appliances

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
