How we handle wood floor repair in Little Totham

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

FAQs for Little Totham

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you cover Little Totham?

We do. We send a technician to Little Totham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Totham

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For anyone letting property in or around Little Totham, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How it works

Your technician turns 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. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Choosing a repair company

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Little Totham. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most clients in Little Totham get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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