About our wood floor repair in Earlham

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and burns, on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
