Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

FAQs for Finghall

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Finghall?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Finghall and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Finghall. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from pictures 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 will get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Common problems we fix in Finghall

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

Look out for these signs:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
