SEAMLESSNESS

Wood Floor Repairs London

Filling Gaps for a Flawless Finish

Is heat escaping through the gaps in your floorboards? Has a credit card or toy slipped between the boards? Or maybe you’re looking for a smoother, more polished surface? We offer expert gap-filling services to tackle these issues. Using wooden slivers for a seamless match or flexible fillers like Sikaflex or Gap Master, we ensure your floor looks cohesive and complete.

A Tip for Seasonal Care

If you’re going on holiday during the winter, avoid turning the heating off completely. Wood naturally expands and contracts with seasonal changes, and extreme cold can put extra strain on your floors. Keeping a consistent temperature helps maintain their stability and longevity.

Repairing Water Damage and Warped Boards

Water damage can wreak havoc on wood floors, leading to issues like warping, swelling, or unsightly stains. These problems not only affect the look of your floor but can also compromise its stability and durability.

Our Process for Water Damage Repairs

Board Replacement: Damaged boards are replaced with materials carefully chosen to match your existing floor.
Seamless Integration: We ensure repairs blend perfectly, preserving the natural beauty of your floor.
Finishing Touches: Sanding and refinishing restore the smoothness and colour consistency, leaving your floor looking flawless.

The result? A floor that’s fully repaired, seamlessly restored, and ready to withstand daily wear and tear.

Robert Dyan

Limestone Polishing, London, Finchley

We had a great experience with Silver Lining Floor Care Company. First of all, they came to see me the same day I contacted them to show how the floor sanding would work and also apply a couple of coloured varnishes to appreciate what the final effect would look like. Once selected, they have shared the most professional quote I have seen in my life, with a clear Video explanation that takes you through the quote line by line. Additionally, they have great customer care - they are always available over the phone, whatsapp and email to really address any query you have. Cherry on the cake, they have delivered a very good job, respecting their promise. I would highly recommend.

Excellent job done cleaning and polishing wooden floor. The team was very helpful and professional. Great communication too. Highly recommended!

Marianna C

First time using Silver Lining. Absolutely excellent job done cleaning our lounge rugs and carpets, and also our whole hallway and stairs by their cleaner Mick using a truck-mounted cleaning system. Will definitely be using them in the future.

Simon Rossi

Carpet Cleaning, London, Hither Green

Super results, pleasant and professional workers, constructive and flexible process. Big thank you to the team! Got the floor of one room, which was very worn and damaged, sanded down, re-stained and lacquered. Particular challenge was trying to match the rest of the flat's flooring, which I didn't know what products had been used on it. The team was super engaged in trying to work this problem, and the results were fantastic.

Silver Lining Floor Care did an outstanding job sanding and oiling the floors in my new flat. They successfully removed all stains and scratches, leaving the floor looking brand new. The team was very professional throughout the process, providing a detailed quote before starting and offering various options to suit my needs. Their expertise and attention to detail really stood out. I couldn’t be happier with the results, and I feel like I got great value for money. If you're looking for reliable, high-quality floor care, I highly recommend Silver Lining Floor Care!

Johnny and the team were very professional. We had lots of calls to discuss reconditioning our Reclamed Burmese teak parquet floor. We planned the dates for when we went away on holiday. His team were trustworthy reliable with great communication! when we came back from holiday the floor was completed and the treatment is holding up well two months later, much better than the original treatment which was a hard wax oil that only lasted 2 years! it was applied by general builders with no expertise in wood floor treatments. This time we went with a lacquer with hardener, we have a big Labrador dog and we still have no visible scratches on the surface and we look forward to seeing how it holds up with the test of time!

Wood Floor Sanding & Oiling, London, Wandsworth

Silver Lining Floor Care conducted some Victorian Tile restoration and cleaning for me. A day after the initial visit some white residue came to the surface due to moisture in the air. On calling Silver Lining Floor Care to tell them this they returned and rectified immediately. An excellent job and will be using again. I can recommend.

O Bidder

Victorian Tiles Restoration, London, Kensigton

Silver Lining Floor Care refinished our existing floorbaords and installed new engineered oak in the remainder of our flat. They are an extremely professional and efficient business to work with. Johnny was very responsive throughout the scoping and quoting process and recommended an engineered oak floorboard that was both higher quality and cheaper than the boards I'd been looking at. Peter first leveled our floors before installing the new boards to ensure a very professional fit. He was easy to communicate with and sent photos throughout the installation as we were not around to see it in person. We have worked with lots of contractors for the renovation of our flat and been dismayed at how so many companies leave the property in a total mess. Silver Lining Floor Care have been the only company to take good care of the property and leave it in perfect condition. Very happy with the finished product and would definitely recommend them.

Lisa Fox

Wood Floor Fitting, Sanding & Oiling, London, Clapham Common

Johnny, Peter and Milosz did a great job on our floors. The quote was provided promptly and we were kept informed at all times of appointments and next steps. When the carpet was taken up prior to work, this showed that some floorboards needed to be repaired. Milosz did a very thorough job in repairing these, removing gaps, strengthening the existing boards and taking a great deal of care to make the floor look as good as possible. I would recommend Silver Lining Floor Care.

Johnny and his team has been very reliable. Great work. I was touched to learn about Johnny's story and his journey in the floorcare industry. Yes they are perhaps not the cheapest company but by far the best one to choose if you want a good job done. Love the fact they use the Pallmann range of products - Great reliable Quality

Robert Hurst

Wood Floor Sanding & Fishing with Raw Wood Effect Lacquer

We had new doors on the back of the house which meant we needed the floor lifted and taken to a new border point. Small job but as time consuming as a new floor. Team were amazing and cut out the old boards and put in the new ones so everything fitted flush with a great trim border they made out of a spare board. Really nice people, clean and tidy and would highly recommend.

Restoring Your Floor’s Integrity and Charm

Wood flooring repairs are about more than just fixing visible damage—they’re about ensuring your floor looks and performs at its best. Whether you need a trusted wood floor repair company to address scratches and dents or specialists to repair water damage caused by various reasons – overwatering plants, pet accidents, rainwater, etc.

Our Approach to Wood Flooring Repairs

Scratch and Dent Repairs: Using precision tools, we blend out imperfections, restoring your floor’s smooth surface. Keep in mind that we cannot achieve perfection in all repairs. The main goal is to minimise the difference from the rest of the flooring
Board Replacements: We replace damaged boards with carefully matched timber to ensure a flawless finish. We may need to purchase an additional piece of parquet flooring to match your existing floor. Remove damaged boards, re-sand them, and refinish them if possible. Replace a pine floorboard with a reclaimed board of similar age; we cannot guarantee a 100% match in this case.
Custom Repairs: Our wood floor repair specialists tailor every fix to your floor’s unique needs, ensuring a perfect fit and finish.

No matter the challenge, our team ensures the repairs match the rest of the floor the best they can
