Wood floor repair in Carnkie, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carnkie use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

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

Materials we repair

  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Engineered wood

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Common problems we fix in Carnkie

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Carnkie questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
