Wood floor repair near Olchard

How we handle wood floor repair in Olchard

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and laminate flooring, and common reasons people contact us are gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Olchard and across Devon. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

FAQs for Olchard

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Is it messy?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Olchard

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For anyone letting property in or around Olchard, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole floor
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
