10 questions to ask before booking

Wood floor repair at your home in How Green

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

What affects the price in How Green

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Common questions in How Green

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

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.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Landlord and trade work in How Green

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
