Wood floor repair near Alweston

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Wood floor repair in Alweston without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood, and people most often call us about gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Repair or replace in Alweston?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Alweston customers choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Alweston

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

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 pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Alweston

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alweston use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
