Wood floor repair at your home in Lordswood
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Common questions in Lordswood
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
