FAQs for The Common

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in The Common.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Wood floor repair in The Common, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and people most often call us about scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Landlord and trade work in The Common

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in The Common

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for The Common. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we’re called out for in The Common

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
