Landlord and trade work in Skimpot
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Luton and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Skimpot use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
About our wood floor repair in Skimpot
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We’re often asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, on engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Skimpot. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Skimpot. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- Details of any past repairs
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

- 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Skimpot
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Questions from Skimpot
Do you cover Skimpot?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Skimpot from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we are working on.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What else we do in Skimpot
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we’re called out for in Skimpot
Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Burns
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Dents from dropped items
- Gouges from moving appliances
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
