Wood floor repair in Barkston, done in place

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Barkston questions

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire floor and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Repairing versus replacing in Barkston

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
