Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos 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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
About our wood floor repair in Ayres End
We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We work on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are chipped board edges and burns.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

FAQs for Ayres End
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Ayres End and the rest of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?
Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- A picture taken from further back
