Trusted wood floor repair in Borehamwood

Landlord and trade work in Borehamwood

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Wood floor repair in Borehamwood without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We’re frequently asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  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

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Borehamwood

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you come to Borehamwood?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Borehamwood from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?

The whole UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
