How we handle wood floor repair in Killen

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. If you’re dealing with gouges from moving appliances and burns, we can normally put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Killen and across Highland. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Killen: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What areas do you cover?

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

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

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

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

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

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

Materials we work on in Killen

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A fixed quote before you book

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
