Wood floor repair at your home in Carleton
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wakefield. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carleton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the damaged area.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Common questions in Carleton
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
