About our wood floor repair in Oakwood

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We’re frequently asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and burns, on laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything
