Wood floor repair for East Ham homes

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

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

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

About our wood floor repair in East Ham

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our repair technicians work on engineered wood, laminate flooring and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most frequently call us about chipped board edges and scratches from furniture and pets.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When to call us in East Ham

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Scratches from furniture and pets

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to 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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our full price list.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

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

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

Materials we work on in East Ham

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Engineered wood

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
