Wood floor repair in Holywood, done in place
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We’re frequently asked to fix chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Landlord and trade work in Holywood
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dumfries and Galloway and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
FAQs for Holywood
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
