Wood floor repair at your home in Lowerhouses
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Our repair technicians work on laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood, and common reasons people contact us are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Landlord and trade work in Lowerhouses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we’re called out for in Lowerhouses
Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Burns
- Chipped board edges
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Dents from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole floor
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HD5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
