Floor Repairs

Repairs

Floors are often damaged by electricians and plumbers leaving behind cut boards, broken tongues, holes and more.

We have a wide stock of reclaimed timber to repair floors with sound wood that matches. Even if you think the damage is too bad to fix, give us a call, there is often a lot we can do with existing boards, or substitute with a closely matched replacement.

Gap Filling

Floorboards

We generally advise against filling gaps between floorboards, although if you have a strong preference for this we can we certainly do it.

One acceptation is if you have a draughty floor, filling the gaps can be an effective way of reducing this.

Floorboard gap filling is generally done using a flexible acrylic based filler which comes in various colours to suit. The gaps are scraped out, vacuumed, the filler is applied directly to the cracks and the excess is sanded off.

Larger gaps can be filled with the use of reclaimed wood slivers; the gaps are scraped out, vacuumed and the slivers are glued in before being cut/sanded flush.

Block/parquet

Block or parquet style floor floors are generally tight when layed, although gaps can open up over time in varying sizes. These gaps can be filled with a resin filler: which is mixed with fine sawdust from the sanding process acting as the pigment, ensuring an exact match to your floor, this is applied across the whole floor and then the excess is sanded off.
