Should you replace it?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Rudmore: your questions answered
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.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Are there extra charges for Rudmore?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rudmore
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we’re called out for in Rudmore
Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Dents from dropped items
- Chipped board edges
- Burns
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
