FAQs for Galleywood

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

The entire UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Signs you need wood floor repair in Galleywood

Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

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

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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