Wood floor repair for Thornley homes

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Wood floor repair in Thornley, done in place

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Questions from Thornley

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.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Thornley?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DL13 postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Laminate flooring
  • Engineered wood
  • Solid wood

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

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
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Thornley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Thornley, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we’re called out for in Thornley

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges
