Wood floor repair in Downside

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Wood floor repair in Downside, done in place

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Downside

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

When can you do it?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
