About our wood floor repair in Gallowstree Common
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. We work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and people most frequently call us about burns and scratches from furniture and pets.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Advice
Gallowstree Common questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Gallowstree Common and the rest of Reading. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What wood floor repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gallowstree Common. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Gallowstree Common and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
