Wood floor repair for Holton homes

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Wood floor repair at your home in Holton

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Whether it’s chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Holton

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Repair or replace in Holton?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Holton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Holton. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Landlords, agents and businesses in Holton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, 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. 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.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
