Wood floor repair in Howegreen, done in place
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. If you are dealing with scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Howegreen use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
