Landlord and trade work in Barking Tye
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How we handle wood floor repair in Barking Tye
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and chipped board edges.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire floor
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you work in Barking Tye?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Barking Tye. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
