Repairing versus replacing in Longdowns
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. In an older home in a village like Longdowns, replacing a floor can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Our wood floor repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
