  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Langton Herring. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Langton Herring

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

FAQs for Langton Herring

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Dorset.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Langton Herring and the rest of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Are there extra charges for Langton Herring?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What affects the price in Langton Herring

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
