Wood floor repair in Kirkwhelpington

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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

Wood floor repair in Kirkwhelpington, done in place

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirkwhelpington

If you manage property in Kirkwhelpington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most clients in Kirkwhelpington get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything

See our pricing.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
