FAQs for Dalwood

When can you do it?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Wood floor repair at your home in Dalwood

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include dents from dropped items and burns, on laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dalwood as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Do you need wood floor repair in Dalwood?

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to care for the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace in Dalwood?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our full price list.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

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

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Dalwood, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
