Wood floor repair in Holton St Mary

About our wood floor repair in Holton St Mary

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Our technicians work on solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring, and people most often call us about dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Landlord and trade work in Holton St Mary

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holton St Mary use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before booking

Questions from Holton St Mary

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

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.
