Wood floor repair in Ellingham

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How we handle wood floor repair in Ellingham

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Typical jobs include gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, across engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about wood floor repair in Ellingham

Which areas do you work in?

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

Do you come to Ellingham?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Ellingham and the rest of Northumberland. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Landlord and trade work in Ellingham

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northumberland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Ellingham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

How we price wood floor repair

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

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the entire floor
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
