Wood Floor Repair in Selston
Wood floor repair in and around Selston: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Burns
- Gouges from moving appliances

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Wood floor repair in Selston without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. If you are dealing with gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Repair or replace in Selston?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Selston
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How do I get a price for wood floor repair in Selston?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
