How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days. For a rural address like North Cockerington, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the wood floor repair, so there’s no second trip.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What affects the price in North Cockerington

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole floor

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Signs you need wood floor repair in North Cockerington

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. In an older home in a village like North Cockerington, replacing a floor can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.

Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
