Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How we handle wood floor repair in Upware
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We’re often asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, in solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.
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.

Upware: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Upware included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
