Need wood floor repair in Buckland Newton?

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

About our wood floor repair in Buckland Newton

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Our technicians work on engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood, and people most often call us about gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Landlord and trade work in Buckland Newton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Buckland Newton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

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.

When to call us in Buckland Newton

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Dents from dropped items

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Buckland Newton customers choose us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to 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

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Buckland Newton. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Buckland Newton questions

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.
