How we handle wood floor repair in Heronsgate
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from furniture and pets and burns.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Heronsgate and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Repairing versus replacing in Heronsgate
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Heronsgate. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When to call us in Heronsgate
Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chipped board edges
- Burns
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Dents from dropped items
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heronsgate use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
