What we are called out for in Elmdon
Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Burns
- Chipped board edges
- Dents from dropped items
If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as Church of St Nicholas, original tiled floors and fireplaces are worth keeping, and chips and cracks can be repaired in place.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Elmdon
- Solid wood
- Engineered wood
- Laminate flooring
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it. In a village or hamlet like Elmdon, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. In an older home in a village like Elmdon, replacing a floor can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
