Common questions in Houbie
Do you work in Houbie?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Houbie. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we are working on.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Houbie. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Houbie. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. 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.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Houbie, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
