How we handle wood floor repair in Barnsole
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What affects the price in Barnsole

- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Barnsole
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What else we do in Barnsole
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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