Trusted wood floor repair in Carlinghow

Wood floor repair at your home in Carlinghow

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, we can usually put it right.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Choosing a repair company

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Carlinghow: your questions answered

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.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you cover the entire of Kirklees?

We cover the whole UK, including Carlinghow and the rest of Kirklees. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your WF17 postcode.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairing versus replacing in Carlinghow

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
