At Alpha Floor Sanding Ltd, we specialise in wood floor repairs for all types of wood flooring across London, Kent, and Surrey, including historic floorboards, parquet, and engineered wood. Given the age and natural wear of older floors, repair work—whether minor or extensive—is essential to achieving the best results in floor restoration. These repairs lay the foundation for successful restoration, preparing your floors for the next phases, which may include floor sanding, wood floor refinishing, and floor polishing.
During our free site visit, our flooring experts carefully inspect your floor for any cracks, broken sections, rotten patches, or missing pieces, providing tailored solutions to address each unique issue.
Key Factors in Wood Floor Repair
To ensure high-quality restoration with a seamless appearance, we consider:
- Wood Species – Identified on-site as long as the grain is visible, ensuring a close match to the original wood.
- Current Colour – Since wood changes colour over time, we sand the area to assess the colour accurately, ensuring replacement pieces blend well with the existing floor.
- Dimensions – We take precise measurements to ensure that every replacement piece fits perfectly.
Our colour inspection process involves sanding the area to ensure uniformity across all floor elements. As old wood darkens naturally, we use reclaimed wood from trusted UK sources to achieve a close colour and grain match, offering a superior alternative to new wood.
Repair Methods for Common Wood Floor Issues
- Missing Elements
We source the best possible colour match, cutting replacement wood to the exact size to seamlessly fit your floor. - Cracked Boards
For minor, non-structural cracks, clients can choose to retain them for added character or opt for repairs to create a uniform look. - Rotten Elements and Woodworm Damage
Rotten boards can pose safety risks and often don’t respond well to sanding and finishing. We recommend replacing these areas with reclaimed wood to maintain structural integrity. - Radiator Pipe Holes
After a thorough inspection, we recommend the best repair methods to fill or conceal radiator pipe holes. - Parquet and Missing Blocks
Old parquet floors, often glued with black bitumen adhesive, can become loose over time. If wood blocks begin to come loose, keeping them safe is essential, as finding exact matches in size and colour can be challenging.
Tools and Expertise
We use advanced tools and expert techniques to cut and fit replacement pieces precisely, ensuring seamless integration with the original floor. Our team also inspects beneath each board before repairs, safeguarding pipes and cables from accidental damage and protecting your plumbing and electrical systems.
