About our wood floor repair in Downpatrick

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We’re often asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, across engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Downpatrick

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Downpatrick.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Downpatrick?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you come to Downpatrick?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Downpatrick and the rest of Down. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How we price wood floor repair

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole floor
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

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. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Downpatrick

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Downpatrick use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour-matched on site
