Wood floor repair in Lanehead

How we handle wood floor repair in Lanehead

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Lanehead

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Lanehead. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

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

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

Materials we work on in Lanehead

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Questions from Lanehead

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you cover Lanehead?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Lanehead and the rest of County Durham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
