How we handle wood floor repair in Reading
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring, and people most often call us about scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.
Repair or replace in Reading?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
