Wood floor repair in Howgill

Questions from Howgill

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you come to Howgill?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Howgill and the rest of Cumbria. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Wood floor repair in Howgill, done in place

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. Common call-outs are for chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances, in engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Howgill

For anyone letting property in or around Howgill, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Howgill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Do you need wood floor repair in Howgill?

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Howgill

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A fixed quote before booking

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
