Questions from Londonderry

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you cover Londonderry?

We do. Technicians travel to Londonderry from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Derry. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Wood floor repair at your home in Londonderry

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our prices page.

When to call us in Londonderry

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
