- Water damage: swollen, stained or lifting boards from leaks or spills.
- Scratches & gouges: from furniture, pets and daily life.
- Lifting or cupping boards: often caused by moisture or subfloor movement.

- Termite or rot damage: compromised sections that need replacing.
Board Replacement & Colour Matching
When a board is too far gone to save, we replace it, and this is where experience really counts. We source matching timber, cut it in, and blend the stain and finish so the new board sits quietly among the old ones. Done well, a replaced board disappears into the floor, which is exactly the point.

Repair vs Replace | What’s Right for Your Floor?
Not every tired floor needs replacing, and we will always tell you honestly which way to go. If the damage is localised and the boards are structurally sound, a targeted repair is faster and far cheaper. If the floor is widely damaged, heavily worn or has ongoing moisture problems, replacement may be the better long term value. During your quote, we assess the whole floor and give you a straight recommendation.
