Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

Landlord and trade work in Longbyre

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Longbyre

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Longbyre questions

Do you cover Longbyre?

We do. We send a technician to Longbyre for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Longbyre. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

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.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
