How we handle wood floor repair in Hethel
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, 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, engineered wood and solid wood.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Common questions in Hethel
Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?
Across the UK, and that includes Hethel. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can scratched laminate be fixed?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Hethel, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Signs you need wood floor repair in Hethel

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We level the repair to the board surface.
- We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
- The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price

Landlord and trade work in Hethel

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
