Wood floor repair at your home in Block Lane
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We’re often asked to fix dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What affects the price in Block Lane
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
