Wood floor repair in Irchester, done in place

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We regularly repair engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Irchester and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Irchester

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Irchester.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Landlord and trade work in Irchester

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What affects the price in Irchester

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Irchester. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Signs you need wood floor repair in Irchester

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Repairing versus replacing in Irchester

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
