FAQs for Rockcliffe

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Rockcliffe. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Rockcliffe, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Rockcliffe

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
