Wood floor repair for Grimston homes

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Grimston

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace in Grimston?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the whole UK

Take a look at our prices page.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Grimston

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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