Landlords, agents and businesses in Exelby

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

About our wood floor repair in Exelby

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We work on engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Exelby and across North Yorkshire. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Exelby questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DL8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

What affects the price in Exelby

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
