Advice
Your questions about wood floor repair in Catslip
Do you work for landlords with property near Henley-On-Thames station?
Yes. We fix floors between tenancies for landlords and letting agents, and we can quote for several properties together.
Do you come out to small places like Catslip?
Yes, we do: small places like Catslip are covered as standard. Tell us if access is tricky.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Catslip included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When to call us in Catslip
Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- Dents from dropped items
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Chipped board edges
We also work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, so if you look after a building such as Nettlebed Community School, tiled corridors and washrooms can be repaired in place too.
Before booking anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Catslip use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What else we do in Catslip
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. For a rural home like those around Catslip, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while wood floor repair is one trip.
Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
