Wood Floor Repair in Greater London

How wood floor repair works in Greater London

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Common call-outs are for gouges from moving appliances and chipped board edges, on laminate flooring, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

What you’ll pay

Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Greater London. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlord and trade work in Greater London

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, 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. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How the damage happens

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

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns
  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Chipped board edges

Your questions about wood floor repair in Greater London

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, 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 happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
