Wood floor repair in Lanescot, 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, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Lanescot

  • Solid wood
  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  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. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When to call us in Lanescot

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges
  • Dents from dropped items

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How to care for the finish
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before booking

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can price the job without visiting.

Lanescot questions

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Are there extra charges for Lanescot?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Repairing versus replacing in Lanescot

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
