Questions from Santon Downham

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Santon Downham?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Santon Downham

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Santon Downham use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

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

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. 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. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
