Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Common problems we fix in Milstead

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Burns

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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 quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

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

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can give you a fixed price.

Advice

Common questions in Milstead

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover Milstead?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Milstead and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Will it make a mess?

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

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
