Wood floor repair near Woodside

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodside

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodside as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Wood floor repair in Woodside without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We work on solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring, and people most often call us about dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets.

We guarantee the work for a year. 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairing versus replacing in Woodside

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Common questions in Woodside

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

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

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your WD25 postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole floor
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Woodside, and we will reply with a fixed price.
