Wood floor repair in Allington

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it

Wood floor repair in Allington without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Typical jobs include dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Questions from Allington

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you cover the whole of Dorset?

We cover the entire UK, including Allington and the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Landlord and trade work in Allington

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What affects the price in Allington

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in Allington, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common problems we fix in Allington

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How to care for the finish
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
