About our wood floor repair in Bow Common

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will be honest about that. Our technicians work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and burns.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Bow Common questions

Do you cover the entire of Greater London?

The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are there extra charges for Bow Common?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Bow Common, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
