Forgeside: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?

I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Torfaen. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Forgeside. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How we handle wood floor repair in Forgeside
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Whether it’s chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Forgeside. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Forgeside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
