Wood floor repair near High Ongar

Wood floor repair in High Ongar, done in place

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Typical jobs include dents from dropped items and chipped board edges, on laminate flooring, engineered wood and solid wood.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlord and trade work in High Ongar

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in High Ongar use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for High Ongar. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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