Book wood floor repair in Crossbank

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 normally the cheaper route.

Wood floor repair in Crossbank, done in place

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. If you are dealing with dents from dropped items and burns, we can help, on solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us) alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Crossbank

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Landlord and trade work in Crossbank

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oldham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Our hiring checklist

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace in Crossbank?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
