Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around High Pittington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

High Pittington: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

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

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Repair or replace in High Pittington?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our full price list.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for High Pittington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
