Wood Floor Repairs

Repairing wooden floors across Bromley

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. Our Bromley team has repaired floors in Victorian terraces, new-build flats, schools and churches, so we have seen most problems before.

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

Different floors fail in different ways, so we offer three dedicated repair services:

• Parquet floor repairs - loose, hollow or missing blocks re-bonded or replaced, and herringbone or chevron patterns rebuilt.

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

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

How we match new timber to old

Good repairs should be invisible once the floor is finished. 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. Where new timber is the only option, careful sanding and staining bring it close to the surrounding floor.

Common problems we fix

• Creaking floors and boards that move underfoot

• Hollow, lifting or missing parquet blocks

• Water damage, staining and cupped boards

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

• Deep scratches, burns and impact damage

Finding the cause, not just the symptom

A repair only lasts if the cause has been dealt with. Damp subfloors, slow leaks, blocked air bricks and heavy point loads are the usual culprits. We take moisture readings, inspect underneath where we can and talk you through the options. If something needs a plumber or builder first, we will tell you honestly rather than cover it up.

Repair, then restore

Once the floor is sound, you can decide how far to take it. 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.
