Wood floor repair in Clerkenwell without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Our repair technicians work on engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

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

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.

Signs you need wood floor repair in Clerkenwell

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Burns
  • Chipped board edges
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Clerkenwell. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Common questions in Clerkenwell

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire floor and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Clerkenwell included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Repair or replace in Clerkenwell?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
