Trusted wood floor repair in Downley

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Wood floor repair in Downley, done in place

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, we can usually put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace in Downley?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Downley

What areas do you cover?

All of Buckinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What affects the price in Downley

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Downley, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
