What this job involves
Assess open joints before selecting a suitable repair or replacement method.
Assessment before agreeing the work
Review seasonal movement, moisture condition, gap size and fixing stability.
Scope to confirm in the quotation
Agree suitable filling or local replacement without blocking required movement.
How the cost is assessed
Timber flooring responds to moisture and movement. Before repairing or refinishing parquet, assess the fixing method, board condition and moisture source. The available timber thickness and previous sanding history can determine whether sanding, local replacement or another approach is suitable.
- Timber species, pattern and availability of matching pieces
- Moisture condition and stability of the substrate
- Extent of loose, damaged or previously sanded boards
- Sanding sequence, finish system and room access
The final scope and price depend on the site assessment, quantities, chosen materials and agreed exclusions. Ask for an itemised quotation rather than assuming a standard rate covers every condition.
Before the site visit
- Photograph the pattern and the damaged area with a wider room view.
- Describe any leak, swelling, hollow sound or loose pieces.
- Check for spare boards and tell the team about previous refinishing.
Confirm the building’s renovation requirements and permitted work periods. Resolve an active moisture problem before replacing or sealing timber. Ask about curing and reoccupation for the chosen finish, including furniture and floor-covering restrictions.
Check the completed work
Review repaired joints and record any movement-related limits of the repair.
Agree which records, material details and follow-up items will be handed over. Record any area outside the agreed scope so it is clear what has been inspected and what still needs attention.
