Trusted wood floor repair in Fish Island

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Wood floor repair in Fish Island, done in place

Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We are frequently asked to fix burns and gouges from moving appliances, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring.

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

Landlord and trade work in Fish Island

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Fish Island: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Greater London.

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.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you cover Fish Island?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Fish Island. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What affects the price in Fish Island

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Fish Island. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the whole UK

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
