How we handle wood floor repair in Friars Cliff

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, across laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure 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.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

FAQs for Friars Cliff

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you cover Friars Cliff?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Friars Cliff. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Friars Cliff, and we will reply with a fixed price.
