About our wood floor repair in Foulden

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We are frequently asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and burns, across solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Common questions in Foulden

Can you price it without visiting?

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

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you come to Foulden?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Foulden and the rest of Norfolk. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Foulden. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Repair or replace in Foulden?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
