Heveningham questions

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How we handle wood floor repair in Heveningham

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We’re often asked to fix burns and dents from dropped items, in laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  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. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace in Heveningham?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
