Wood floor repair in Fickleshole, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. If you’re dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and burns, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Fickleshole

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we’re called out for in Fickleshole

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Fickleshole?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Your questions about wood floor repair in Fickleshole

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Fickleshole.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
