Wood floor repair for Aspenden homes

Wood floor repair in Aspenden, done in place

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Typical jobs include scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring.

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

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 typically cheaper.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 before booking.

What we work on

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

FAQs for Aspenden

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you come to Aspenden?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Aspenden and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we’re called out for in Aspenden

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Burns
  • Dents from dropped items

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
