Wood floor repair for Birchanger homes

How we handle wood floor repair in Birchanger

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, on laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Questions from Birchanger

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you cover Birchanger?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Birchanger from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

When to call us in Birchanger

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

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 generally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
