Laminate Edges Swollen
Likely cause: Water soaked into the core.
What we do: Boards replaced, cannot be dried flat.
Al Salam Tower, Office 15B, Al Barsha, DubaiEvery day, 8am to 10pm
A burst hose, an AC drain leak or an overflowing bath can swell laminate, cup parquet and lift vinyl within hours. We find and stop the source, dry the screed, remove damaged boards and relay or replace them, checking moisture before anything goes back down.
Process
The source is found and fixed, or isolated for a plumber.
Swollen boards are lifted to let the screed dry.
Fans and dehumidifiers dry the area until readings are safe.
Sound boards are relaid and damaged ones replaced.
Swollen laminate rarely goes back to flat, so damaged boards are replaced. Engineered wood and parquet can often be saved if dried slowly.
Relaying over damp screed traps moisture and causes mould. We only relay once moisture readings are safe.
For leaks, see leaking pipe repair. For stains, see stain and water damage treatment, and for parquet, parquet installation.
Act Fast
Lift wet boards quickly to save the screed and the floor.
Insurance
Take photos before work starts for your insurer.
After a Leak
Water damage spreads if floors are not lifted and dried.
We stop the source, dry and repair floors.

Laminate and SPC vinyl installation starts from AED 25 per square metre for labour, and from about AED 70 per square metre supplied and fitted. Levelling and skirting are quoted separately when needed. Prices vary and can change depending on your exact requirements, the materials and access to the property, so the final price is confirmed after we see photos or visit.
A typical apartment bedroom is fitted in a day. A full two-bedroom apartment usually takes two to three days, plus drying time if the floor needs levelling first.
Yes. Rigid SPC vinyl is waterproof and stable in heat and humidity, so it suits kitchens, bathrooms and ground floors. Keep it out of long, direct sun behind glass, or use blinds.
