Choosing a repair company

Questions from Wickham Skeith

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Wickham Skeith. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Wickham Skeith, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
