What affects the price in Northwood

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Northwood. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Northwood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire floor
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can price the job without visiting.

How we handle wood floor repair in Northwood

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our technicians work on engineered wood, laminate flooring and solid wood, and people most often call us about dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Questions from Northwood

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you work in Northwood?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Northwood and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Northwood.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Northwood use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
