Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Parkhead use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Parkhead. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
