Wood floor repair at your home in Symondsbury

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, in solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 typically cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Symondsbury

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Will the price change on the day?

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

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Symondsbury. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures
