Shenley questions

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

About our wood floor repair in Shenley

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Common call-outs are for burns and scratches from furniture and pets, in laminate flooring, solid wood and engineered wood.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills straight away.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

What a repair cannot fix

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 work on in Shenley

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

Landlord and trade work in Shenley

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Common problems we fix in Shenley

Furniture, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns

Comparing quotes

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

If you’re in Shenley and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
