Questions from Janetstown

Is my repair covered?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Repair or replace in Janetstown?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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’ll get a fixed figure back.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Janetstown

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
