Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

10 questions to ask before you book

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Landlord and trade work in Foals Green

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

What affects the price in Foals Green

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Foals Green, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
