Your questions about wood floor repair in Pennance

Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Pennance.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Pennance
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood
- Solid wood
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the damaged area.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TR15 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Pennance. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
If you manage property in Pennance, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
