FAQs for Tilehurst

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

About our wood floor repair in Tilehurst

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We are often asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Tilehurst. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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 quote.

When to call us in Tilehurst

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Tilehurst

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.
