- We clean the damaged area.

- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
How to prepare

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gissing
If you manage property in Gissing, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Common questions in Gissing

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How much does wood floor repair cost in Gissing?

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
