About our wood floor repair in Cliftonville

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s gouges from moving appliances and burns, we can normally put it right, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting 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.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Cliftonville, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

FAQs for Cliftonville

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Cliftonville and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Will the price change on the day?

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

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
