How we handle wood floor repair in Wall Hill

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Typical jobs include scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Wall Hill questions

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Oldham. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you come to Wall Hill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wall Hill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

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 soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
