Trusted wood floor repair in Hey

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We regularly repair solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring, and common reasons people contact us are chipped board edges and burns.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it

Common questions in Hey

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Hey and the rest of Oldham. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you cover Hey?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Hey and the rest of Oldham. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Landlord and trade work in Hey

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

What we’re called out for in Hey

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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