About our wood floor repair in Hastingwood

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. Our repair technicians work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are gouges from moving appliances and burns.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Hastingwood questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you cover the whole of Essex?

Across the UK, so Hastingwood is covered. Prices do not change with location.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hastingwood

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairing versus replacing in Hastingwood

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hastingwood. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Hastingwood

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the entire floor
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
