About our wood floor repair in Fir Tree

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Fir Tree and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Common questions in Fir Tree

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fir Tree

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Fir Tree

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Fir Tree. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Fir Tree, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage
