Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We’re frequently asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, across engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

FAQs for Earlstone Common
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Are there extra charges for Earlstone Common?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How much does wood floor repair cost in Earlstone Common?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How quickly can you book me in?

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
