Wood floor repair for Forton homes

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

  • Colour-matched on site
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How we handle wood floor repair in Forton

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We regularly repair laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are burns and scratches from furniture and pets.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry

  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Forton

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 normally cheaper.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Forton

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire floor and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
