Service Overview

What we do , and where it fits in.

What it is

Reactive and planned floor repair across all common floor types, carpet patch repairs, seam re-welds, stair re-fits, lifting laminate, swollen joints, LVT plank replacement, vinyl tears and burns, and sub-floor levelling where the problem is underneath rather than on top.

Who it's for

Homeowners with a localised problem on an otherwise sound floor; landlords needing a patch fix between tenants without doing a full re-lay; commercial operators with a damaged area in an otherwise good floor; insurance jobs after leaks, burns and accidental damage.

When you need it

When a floor has one bad area but the rest is fine; after a leak or burst pipe has lifted laminate or vinyl in part of a room; when stair fittings have come loose and become a fall risk; when carpet has rippled and just needs power re-stretching to flatten again.

Why professional fit matters

Replacement is usually the most expensive answer. Most floor problems are localised and fixable for a fraction of the re-fit cost, but only if the repair is done properly with matching materials and correct technique. A bad patch is worse than no patch.

What Goes Wrong

The problems that turn up
when it's done on the cheap.

Rippled or lifted carpet

Carpet that has rippled has either lost gripper hold or was never properly power-stretched. Either way it can usually be lifted, re-gripped and re-stretched, not replaced.

Burnt or torn vinyl

A small burn, tear or gouge in sheet vinyl can be cut out and patched with a piece of matching off-cut, hot-welded back to the surrounding floor. If you don't have the off-cut, we'll source the closest available match and be honest about the visual result.

Swollen laminate joints

Localised swelling usually means water has got in somewhere. We identify and stop the source, lift the affected planks, dry and re-fit, replacing planks where the core is gone.

Loose or unsafe stair fittings

Stair carpet that has come loose at the nosing is a fall risk. Re-fixing properly with new grippers and re-stretching is a same-day repair.

Our Process

How the job actually runs
no surprises on the day.

  1. 01

    Repair Survey

    We come out, look at the actual damage, identify the cause (impact, water, wear, poor original fit) and tell you honestly whether repair or replacement is the right answer.

  2. 02

    Written Quote

    Repair scope, materials, labour and a realistic visual expectation, including whether the repair will be invisible, near-invisible or visible-but-functional.

  3. 03

    Material Match

    We source matching carpet, laminate, LVT or vinyl from current stock or run-off where available. Where an exact match isn't possible we say so before quoting.

  4. 04

    Repair Execution

    Affected area lifted, sub-floor checked and dried/levelled where needed, repair material fitted using the correct technique for the floor type (cold patch, hot weld, plank replacement, re-stretch).

  5. 05

    Sign-Off

    Repair walked with you, off-cuts retained for future patches, cleaning and care advice given for the affected area.

Why It Matters

What you get
when it's done properly.

Cheaper than replacement

Most localised repairs cost 10–30% of a full re-fit. For sound floors with one bad area, repair is the obvious answer.

Honest assessment

We'll tell you when a repair won't look right and replacement is the better call. We don't sell repairs we can't deliver.

Fast turnaround

Most domestic repairs booked within a week, completed in a few hours. Emergency landlord/tenant safety fixes prioritised.

Insurance-ready paperwork

Written reports, photographs and itemised quotes for insurance claims following leaks, fires and accidental damage.

Sub-floor problems addressed

Where the visible damage is a symptom of a sub-floor or moisture problem, we identify and address the cause, not just the symptom.

All common floor types

Carpet, laminate, LVT, sheet vinyl, safety vinyl and engineered wood, we repair them all using the manufacturer-recommended technique.

The Detail

How we actually spec the job
materials, methods, situations.

Repair work is detail work. Here's how the common repair types are approached and where the limits of each lie.

Carpet repairs

Patch repairs use a matching off-cut (ideally the original off-cut you kept, or a current stock match), cut to size with a sharp knife and bonded with seam tape and a heat iron. Power re-stretching uses a knee-kicker and stretcher to take ripples out of a sound carpet. Stair re-fits replace grippers and re-cut the carpet into the new gripper. Most domestic carpet repairs are a half-day job.

Laminate and engineered wood

Click laminate can be partially dismantled from the nearest wall to reach damaged planks, which are then replaced and the floor re-clicked back together. Where the swollen plank can't be removed (glued joints, herringbone) we cut it out, level the area and bond a replacement plank in place. Where the source of moisture hasn't been fixed, repair is pointless, we identify the leak first.

LVT repairs

Glue-down LVT planks are scored along the joint, lifted with heat, residual adhesive scraped, sub-floor cleaned and re-primed, then a new plank bonded in. Click LVT can be lifted from the nearest wall and re-laid. Done well, an LVT plank replacement is almost invisible.

Sheet vinyl repairs

Cuts, tears and burns are patched by cutting a clean square out around the damage, fitting a matching off-cut to the exact size, and either cold-jointing or hot-welding it to the surrounding floor. Hot-welded repairs on commercial safety vinyl are near-invisible. Cold-jointed domestic repairs are functional and visible.

Sub-floor levelling and remediation

Where the visible problem is actually a sub-floor issue, dipped concrete, rotted boards, residual moisture, we address the sub-floor first. Latex screed for concrete, ply over-boarding for timber, moisture treatment for damp screeds. Repairing the visible floor without fixing the sub-floor is wasted money.

FAQ

Common questions
answered straight.

Can my carpet be repaired without replacing the whole room?

+

Usually yes, burns, single stains and damaged areas can be patched using an off-cut. If you don't have an off-cut, we'll source the closest match and be honest about how visible the repair will be before doing the work.

Can swollen laminate be saved?

+

If the source of water is fixed and only the surface is affected, sometimes yes. Where the HDF core has swollen, the affected planks need replacing, we can usually do this without re-fitting the whole floor.

Do you do emergency repairs?

+

We prioritise safety repairs, loose stair carpet, lifted vinyl creating a trip hazard, exposed gripper pins, and aim to attend within 48 hours where possible.

Will the repair be invisible?

+

On hot-welded vinyl and well-matched LVT, often yes. On patched carpet without an original off-cut, the patch will be visible to a degree, we tell you up front so there are no surprises.

Do you provide reports for insurance claims?

+

Yes, written reports with photographs, cause-of-damage assessment and itemised repair vs replacement costs. We work with loss adjusters regularly.

Can you re-stretch a rippled carpet?

+

Yes, power re-stretching is one of the most common repairs we do. A whole-room re-stretch is usually a half-day job.

What if the sub-floor is the real problem?

+

We say so. Repairing the visible floor without addressing a damp screed or rotted timber sub-floor is wasted money, we'll quote the proper fix even if it's more work.
