Wood floor repair near Kettlethorpe

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Wood floor repair in Kettlethorpe, done in place

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Our repair technicians work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How to compare quotes

Your questions about wood floor repair in Kettlethorpe

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Wakefield. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can I fix it myself?

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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 before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
