Wood floor repair near Saxby

Landlord and trade work in Saxby

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Wood floor repair at your home in Saxby

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We regularly repair solid wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most frequently call us about burns and gouges from moving appliances.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you’re in Saxby and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Questions from Saxby

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Are there extra charges for Saxby?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
