About our wood floor repair in Downend
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Whether it’s scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Common questions in Downend
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of West Berkshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
