How we handle wood floor repair in Preston Candover

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Typical jobs include scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, across solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Preston Candover use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for Preston Candover

Do you hold any accreditations?

What do you need from me?

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

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Will it make a mess?

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

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
