About our wood floor repair in The Banks
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Our repair technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and people most frequently call us about dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Common questions in The Banks
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you work in The Banks?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to The Banks for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repair or replace in The Banks?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
