Book wood floor repair in Little Yeldham

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

What affects the price in Little Yeldham

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Little Yeldham, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One price list for the entire UK

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

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