Wood floor repair in Fulwell, done in place

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Questions from Fulwell

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What areas do you cover?

All of Sunderland, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Fulwell, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fulwell as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. 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. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
