Wood floor repair near Putney

Wood floor repair at your home in Putney

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Typical jobs include dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, across laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

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

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

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. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Putney: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Putney included. Travel is included in the price.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Can landlords book you?

Do you cover Putney?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Putney. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in Putney

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Burns
  • Chipped board edges
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
