Wood floor repair near Buckhurst Hill

Wood floor repair at your home in Buckhurst Hill

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Buckhurst Hill

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Buckhurst Hill, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our prices page.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
