Your questions about wood floor repair in Emsworth

Are you accredited?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Emsworth.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Emsworth customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Emsworth

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we are called out for in Emsworth

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts
