Landlords, agents and businesses in Merritown
For anyone letting property in or around Merritown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Older homes around Merritown may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. A repair keeps the original.
Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Your questions about wood floor repair in Merritown
My house in Merritown is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
Normally: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. Send photos and we will advise.

Yes, commercial work is part of what we do. Send pictures and details of the building.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BH23 postcode.

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in Merritown
Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chipped board edges
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Dents from dropped items
Facilities teams at buildings such as Muscliff Primary School can book us for tiled corridors and washrooms too.
