How we handle wood floor repair in Kettering

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. If you’re dealing with dents from dropped items and burns, we can generally put it right.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Kettering

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Kettering. The price depends on:

Unusual colours or finishes
What kind of damage it is
Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

Any details about the material
Details of any past repairs
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Kettering

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover the whole of Northamptonshire?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Northamptonshire.
