Common questions in Sleapshyde
Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you come to Sleapshyde?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sleapshyde and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Sleapshyde
- Solid wood

Landlord and trade work in Sleapshyde
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What affects the price in Sleapshyde
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- The material
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire floor
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
