How we handle wood floor repair in Great Houghton

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We work on solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most frequently call us about burns and gouges from moving appliances.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Great Houghton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you’re in Great Houghton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
