FAQs for Abthorpe
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How we handle wood floor repair in Abthorpe
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Abthorpe
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Abthorpe, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
