About our wood floor repair in Checkley
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and people most frequently call us about scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.

Advice
What affects the price in Checkley
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Checkley. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole floor
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What else we do in Checkley
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
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.
Checkley: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you come to Checkley?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Checkley. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
