Your questions about wood floor repair in West Shilvinghampton

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

How soon can you come?

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

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Wood floor repair in West Shilvinghampton without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood, and common reasons people contact us are dents from dropped items and gouges from moving appliances.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Shilvinghampton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Shilvinghampton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in West Shilvinghampton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches 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: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Signs you need wood floor repair in West Shilvinghampton

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What protection goes down before work starts
