Questions from Windmill Hill

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Windmill Hill included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Windmill Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Landlord and trade work in Windmill Hill

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

What affects the price in Windmill Hill

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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