Wood floor repair at your home in Richmond
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 laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Richmond as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Richmond
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work in Richmond?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Richmond from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How much does wood floor repair cost in Richmond?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you cover the whole of North Yorkshire?
The entire UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire floor
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
