Wood floor repair at your home in Speed Gate

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Speed Gate as everywhere else we work. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

FAQs for Speed Gate

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you come to Speed Gate?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Speed Gate from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common reasons people in Speed Gate contact us are:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Dents from dropped items

Questions to ask before you book

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Speed Gate

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Speed Gate. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire floor

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
