Wood floor repair for West Street homes

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Wood floor repair at your home in West Street

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We’re often asked to fix chipped board edges and dents from dropped items, across laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

West Street questions

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so West Street is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I get a price for wood floor repair in West Street?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP31 postcode.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you need wood floor repair in West Street?

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Chipped board edges

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How changes to the job are handled

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. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to West Street. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back

If you’re in West Street 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
