Wood floor repair in Avening

Wood floor repair in Avening, done in place

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and people most often call us about dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Honest limits

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Avening

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Avening?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Will you leave a mess?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your GL8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
