Wood floor repair at your home in Puncknowle

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We work on solid wood, laminate flooring and engineered wood, and people most often call us about burns and scratches from furniture and pets.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain 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
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Puncknowle

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Puncknowle customers choose us

Landlords, agents and businesses in Puncknowle

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Puncknowle. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise 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.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DT2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
