Low Crompton: your questions answered
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, 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 a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Wood floor repair in Low Crompton without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oldham. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How we price wood floor repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Low Crompton. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repair or replace in Low Crompton?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Low Crompton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
