How we handle wood floor repair in St Boswells

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Typical jobs include dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances, across laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

What affects the price in St Boswells

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the whole floor
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you are in St Boswells and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

St Boswells: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will the price change on the day?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do you cover St Boswells?

We do. We send a technician to St Boswells for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Are there extra charges for St Boswells?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Boswells use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
