About our wood floor repair in Northmoor
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We are often asked to fix chipped board edges and dents from dropped items, in engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
FAQs for Northmoor
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Northmoor. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole floor
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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.
