Wood floor repair for Blackgang homes

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. 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.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How we handle wood floor repair in Blackgang

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Blackgang questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Isle of Wight.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PO38 postcode.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

What affects the price in Blackgang

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
