Engineered & Solid Floor Repairs

Engineered and solid wood floor repairs in Enfield

Engineered and solid wood floors are hardwearing, yet leaks, impact and movement can still damage individual planks. In most cases we can replace just the affected boards and blend them into the rest of the floor. This saves time, money and the disruption of a new floor.

Typical repairs

• Cutting out and replacing damaged, dented or burnt planks

• Fixing boards that have come away from the subfloor

• Repairing water-damaged, cupped or swollen sections

• Closing gaps caused by movement and fixing failed joints

Knowing your floor

Engineered boards have a real wood wear layer on a plywood core, while solid boards are timber all the way through. Knowing which you have tells us how to repair it and how much sanding the floor can take. Our article on sanding engineered floors shows you how to check.

Finishing after the repair

New planks are rarely the exact colour of a floor that has been in sunlight for years. Where needed, a full sand and refinish brings the whole floor to one consistent colour. Lightly worn oiled floors can often be refreshed with a maintenance re-oil instead.

After a leak

Water is the most common cause of damage to plank floors. Boards that have taken on water may cup, crown or swell at the joints, and dark stains can soak deep into the timber. Once the source is fixed and the floor has dried, we decide whether to sand flat or replace boards. Patience at this stage avoids repeat problems later.

How your floor is fitted

Each fitting method needs its own repair technique. We adapt our approach to the way your floor was fitted, so replacement boards sit flush and stay put. Leftover boards from the original installation make the best repairs, so let us know if you have any.
