Wood floor repair near Alfington

About our wood floor repair in Alfington

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Alfington

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alfington use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

10 questions to ask before you book

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. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Alfington questions

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.

What do you need from me?

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

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Alfington?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Alfington.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Alfington. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
