Abbots Langley: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Abbots Langley.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?

The whole UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlord and trade work in Abbots Langley

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairing versus replacing in Abbots Langley

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Abbots Langley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Abbots Langley

  • Solid wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Engineered wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

What affects the price in Abbots Langley

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your WD5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Abbots Langley

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

What your quote should include
