Need wood floor repair in Longford?

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Wood floor repair at your home in Longford

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We’re often asked to fix dents from dropped items and burns, on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Longford. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Advice

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. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

FAQs for Longford

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
