Need wood floor repair in Ashington?

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

About our wood floor repair in Ashington

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, across solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Your questions about wood floor repair in Ashington

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Ashington

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ashington. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
