Wood floor repair in Greenside, done in place

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from furniture and pets and burns.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Greenside

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

If you manage property in Greenside, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Greenside: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

What areas do you cover?

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

What affects the price in Greenside

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire floor

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Engineered wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
