Trusted wood floor repair in Headington Hill

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Wood floor repair at your home in Headington Hill

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and people most frequently call us about burns and chipped board edges.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How to compare quotes

Headington Hill: your questions answered

Do you work in Headington Hill?

We do. We send a technician to Headington Hill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire floor and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Headington Hill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Headington Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
