Wood floor repair in Soothill

Soothill: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Do you come to Soothill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Soothill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How we handle wood floor repair in Soothill

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We are often asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and burns, across engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Soothill

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kirklees and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Choosing a repair company

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can price the job without visiting.
