Common questions in Wivenhoe
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we are called out for in Wivenhoe
Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Burns
- Chipped board edges
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Dents from dropped items
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
