Should you replace it?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Questions from Low Eighton
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
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.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What areas do you cover?
All of Gateshead, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
