Wood floor repair at your home in Carthorpe
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are burns and gouges from moving appliances.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Carthorpe: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Carthorpe?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
