Floor Repair

Wood floor repairs might be required for a wealth of different reasons – water damage due to excessive moisture, significantly deep scratches, having walls taken down or even a fireplace being removed. Modern living often comes with home renovations, which is why it’s common for your floors to need repairing or re-fitting to suit your new home’s layout, or to accommodate building work in your home. It’s also common to need floor repairs if they’ve been covered with carpet for many years, as is often the case in older properties.

 In many instances, homes that have undergone extensive renovation, such as removing walls, adding extensions or subfloor electrical work, commonly need to engage our professional wood floor repair services in order to repair the damage to the wood floor and pattern. It is also common to require extensive floor repairs in instances where the solid wood floors have been covered up with carpets by previous owners, as the process of installing carpets, as well as the long term neglect of the wood itself, can require re-fitting, levelling, the removal of tacks, nails and underlay residue, as well as general floor maintenance such as floor sanding and refinishing.

At Golden Floor Restoration, we provide floor repair services for all types of solid wood floors, whether you have oak, pine, floorboards, hardwood, mosaic or parquet flooring, for both residential homes and commercial settings. Our team of floor specialists possess the necessary skills, experience and state of the art equipment along with, most importantly, the patience and determination to fix any wood floor repairs you may be in need of. We appreciate that every floorboard and parquet block is individual, which therefore requires an individual service – at Golden Floor Restoration, we do not believe in a ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to our floor repair services.

 A typical floor repair service often includes securing any loose floorboards or parquet blocks, as well as replacing any that are too damaged for repairs. In these instances, we try our best to locate reclaimed flooring, including reclaimed pine floorboards and reclaimed parquet floor blocks, that best matches your existing flooring; where we cannot procure reclaimed wood for your floor replacement, we will use new wood material. Our expert skills, modern technology and traditional tools allow us to blend in your new and old wood flooring to allow for as seamless a transition as possible.

Our professional floor repair service at Golden Floor Restoration always begins with a thorough inspection of your solid wood floors, looking for areas of damage and brainstorming how to best issue the repairs. For raised or uneven flooring or floorboards, an inspection of the subfloor will also be performed, as the repair and restoration service may require floor levelling or the reinforcement of floor joists.

 For floorboards and parquet flooring that has been significantly affected by water damage, deep dents or scratches or wood rot, we would look to remove and replace with reclaimed wood or, if not possible, new wood materials to match. Such damaged flooring is noticeable, showing signs of discolouration, physical damage or, in the case of rot, a spongy, soft appearance that disintegrates when pressure is applied. In many instances, only partial replacement is necessary and recommended, with floor maintenance and minor floor repairs being required to get your wood flooring back up to scratch.

Less severe scratches, dents and discolouration can be remedied through the use of our professional wood floor sanding service and a precise deep clean, which removes the topmost, damaged layer of your solid wood to reveal the unblemished wood underneath – a benefit not found with tile or laminate floors. Likewise, gap filling can also be undertaken to bridge gaps between floorboards or between parquet blocks, where our flooring experts create a mixture of wood dust and resin to create a hardy wood filler that perfectly matches your flooring for a seamless look.

Not only do we provide physical repairs to your flooring but, once your wooden floor is intact, secure and level, our Golden Floor Restoration team will then undertake a high-grade polishing of your repaired wood floor, before applying premium wood finishing products such as wood stains, wood lacquers and hardwax oils to ensure the perfect, long lasting finish. Protecting and perfecting your floors is imperative for the longevity of your wooden flooring, allowing breathability of the natural oils in the wood, whilst protecting it from further damage.
