Need wood floor repair in Snape?

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

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

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

What we work on

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

Wood floor repair in Snape without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We’re frequently asked to fix dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets, across laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Snape and across Suffolk. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Repairing versus replacing in Snape

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Snape

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
