Wood floor repair in Oak Corner

For landlords and businesses

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.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we handle wood floor repair in Oak Corner

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We are often asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, in engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Oak Corner: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What affects the price in Oak Corner

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you’re in Oak Corner and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
