About our wood floor repair in Kencot

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and burns.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Kencot and across Oxfordshire. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

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

Your questions about wood floor repair in Kencot

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Kencot?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Are there extra charges for Kencot?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Kencot is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

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.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos 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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Signs you need wood floor repair in Kencot

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Burns
  • Chipped board edges
  • Gouges from moving appliances

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Kencot

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
