Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shincliffe use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When we’d advise against a repair
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.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Shincliffe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
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 quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- No need to remove anything
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Work done at your home or business

Common questions in Shincliffe
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole floor and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
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.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can I fix it myself?
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 generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
