Lower East Carleton questions

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lower East Carleton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Lower East Carleton

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Dents from dropped items

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
