Wood floor repair in Highbury

Landlords, agents and businesses in Highbury

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

About our wood floor repair in Highbury

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will be honest about that. We’re often asked to fix gouges from moving appliances and dents from dropped items, on solid wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Highbury: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

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

Does the room need clearing?

Only from the area we are working on.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Highbury.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Highbury

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Highbury. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Highbury. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts 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 Highbury clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
