DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Wood floor repair in Fortis Green, done in place
We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for burns and dents from dropped items, on solid wood, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us).
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Fortis Green and across Greater London. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Fortis Green
Do I need to move furniture?
Just around the damaged area.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Fortis Green.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Fortis Green. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you come to Fortis Green?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Fortis Green and the rest of Greater London. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire floor
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most clients in Fortis Green get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
