About our wood floor repair in Ashcombe

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We work on engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most often call us about burns and scratches from furniture and pets.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Landlord and trade work in Ashcombe

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

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ashcombe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Ashcombe clients choose us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page.

  • Burns

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Ashcombe. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Ashcombe: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
