Wood floor repair near Cerne Abbas

Wood floor repair in Cerne Abbas, done in place

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and burns, across solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What affects the price in Cerne Abbas

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Cerne Abbas. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Landlord and trade work in Cerne Abbas

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Cerne Abbas questions

What areas do you cover?

All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will it make a mess?

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

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Cerne Abbas?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
