Wood floor repair near Norcot

Wood floor repair in Norcot, done in place

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We work on engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most frequently call us about dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most clients in Norcot get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Our hiring checklist

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

Questions from Norcot

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you cover Norcot?

We do. We send a technician to Norcot for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Norcot included. Travel is included in the price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Norcot

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
