Hele: your questions answered
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Hele. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hele.
Wood floor repair in Hele, done in place
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, on laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Hele, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
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.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- We fill dents, chips and gouges.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hele, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
