Wood floor repair near Charing Cross

Wood floor repair in Charing Cross without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, we can help, on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

FAQs for Charing Cross

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we are working on.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you cover the entire of Greater London?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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.

What affects the price in Charing Cross

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your W1F postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

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

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
