Wood floor repair near Southill

Wood floor repair in Southill without replacing anything

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We’re often asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, across wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

What affects the price in Southill

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most clients in Southill get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  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. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Southill questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Are there extra charges for Southill?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Dorset.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
