How we handle wood floor repair in The Folly
Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Laminate swollen along the joints by water
- Boards that have lifted or warped
- Underfloor damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
- Engineered wood

The Folly: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only from the area we are working on.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the damaged area.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in The Folly, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you’re in The Folly and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
