Southway questions

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Wood floor repair at your home in Southway

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Whether it’s dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Southway and across Plymouth. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

When to call us in Southway

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

Before booking anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Southway

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Southway, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
