How we handle wood floor repair in High Crompton

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Our repair technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood, and people most often call us about dents from dropped items and burns.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry

What affects the price in High Crompton

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in High Crompton, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around High Crompton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace in High Crompton?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

  • A fixed quote before booking

Questions from High Crompton

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you cover High Crompton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to High Crompton and the rest of Oldham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
