Wood floor repair in Higher Row

How we handle wood floor repair in Higher Row

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We are frequently asked to fix chipped board edges and burns, on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Common questions in Higher Row

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  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

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace in Higher Row?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Higher Row

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Higher Row. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Higher Row as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
