Trusted wood floor repair in Patchetts Green

Wood floor repair in Patchetts Green without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We regularly repair laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are burns and dents from dropped items.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What affects the price in Patchetts Green

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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.

  • One picture of the entire floor
  • 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 will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Patchetts Green

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

We price from photos 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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
