Wood Floor Repairs

Wood floor repairs done properly

Most wooden floors that look tired or broken can be saved. With the right timber, careful joinery and a well-matched finish, we repair the damaged areas and keep everything that is still sound. We work on period homes, modern apartments and busy public buildings across Kingston and the surrounding areas.

Repairs are often the first stage of a bigger project. Once the floor is sound, floor sanding takes everything back to fresh timber so new and old wood finish as one surface. If the floor only needs a refresh afterwards, a maintenance re-oil may be all it takes.

Our floor repair services

Every floor type needs a slightly different approach, so our repair work is split into three specialist services:

• Parquet and block floor repairs - re-laying lifted blocks, replacing damaged ones with reclaimed timber and restoring the pattern.

• Floorboards repairs - split, rotten or badly patched boards replaced with matched reclaimed pine, and loose boards secured to the joists.

• Engineered & solid wood repairs - plank replacement, re-bonding lifted boards and dealing with movement or water damage.

Making repairs invisible

A repair is only successful if you cannot find it afterwards. We source reclaimed boards and blocks of the same species, width and age wherever possible, and match the grain direction and colour before anything is fixed down. If new wood has to be used, we tone it in with stains and oils so the repair blends with the rest of the room.

Common problems we fix

• Squeaky or bouncy boards caused by loose fixings or worn joists

• Loose parquet blocks and failed adhesive

• Boards stained or warped by leaks and spills

• Old service cut-outs, mismatched patches and filled holes

• Deep scratches, burns and impact damage

Why floors get damaged

A repair only lasts if the cause has been dealt with. Lifting blocks often point to damp or failed adhesive, cupped boards to a leak or poor ventilation, and creaks to loose fixings or tired joists. We check moisture levels with a meter, look at the subfloor and explain what we find in plain English. If something needs a plumber or builder first, we will tell you honestly rather than cover it up.

Repair, then restore

A repaired floor can be left as it is, blended locally or fully refinished. Some customers add gap filling to cut draughts, or a stain to give the room a new look. Please note that gap filling is excluded from our service guarantee, because wooden floors move with the seasons and the structure of the building. Everything else comes with our three-month guarantee on restoration work.

Repairs with peace of mind

Every repair begins with a free survey, so you know exactly what is needed and what it will cost before we start.
