When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Landlord and trade work in High Westwood

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in High Westwood as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in High Westwood

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to High Westwood. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
