Wood floor repair at your home in Fordstreet
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are chipped board edges and dents from dropped items.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
