Wood floor repair in Ramsey without replacing anything
Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. If you are dealing with gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, we can normally put it right, on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
