About our wood floor repair in Somerford
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. If you’re dealing with gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills immediately.

Questions from Somerford
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you work in Somerford?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Somerford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Landlord and trade work in Somerford
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
