Short Heath questions
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Short Heath is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Solid wood
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
