Wood floor repair in Great Lea Common

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Wood floor repair at your home in Great Lea Common

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We are often asked to fix scratches from furniture and pets and burns, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Great Lea Common clients choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Great Lea Common: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What affects the price in Great Lea Common

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Great Lea Common. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Great Lea Common, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
