DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, 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. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to compare quotes

Doddinghurst questions

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Doddinghurst included. Travel is included in the price.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Doddinghurst?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Landlord and trade work in Doddinghurst

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Doddinghurst use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
