FAQs for Woolston

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Wood floor repair in Woolston, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you are dealing with burns and scratches from furniture and pets, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  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. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woolston

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Woolston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
