Need wood floor repair in Rowlatts Hill?

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Wood floor repair in Rowlatts Hill, done in place

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you are dealing with dents from dropped items and burns, we can usually put it right.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Rowlatts Hill: your questions answered

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Leicester. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work in Rowlatts Hill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Rowlatts Hill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Rowlatts Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rowlatts Hill as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
