Wood floor repair near Marehill

Wood floor repair in Marehill without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We are often asked to fix burns and gouges from moving appliances, on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.

In a village like Marehill, older homes may have tiled or wooden floors that have been down for years, and matching them is difficult. Repairing the damage keeps the original.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it. For a rural address like Marehill, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the wood floor repair comes with us in one trip.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Marehill. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you’re in Marehill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we are called out for in Marehill

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Dents from dropped items

Rented homes near Pulborough station (about 1.6 miles west) change hands often, and repairing floors between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace in Marehill?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Older homes around Marehill may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. Repairing avoids those problems.

Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
