Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Wood floor repair in Shawford, done in place

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We are frequently asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Shawford and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Shawford: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Shawford, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
