Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you’re dealing with gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, we can help.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Low Fell. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in Low Fell

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NE9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
