Wood floor repair in Holloway without replacing anything
Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Common call-outs are for burns and chipped board edges, on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and engineered wood.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Repair or replace in Holloway?
Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Holloway. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you cover the entire of Greater London?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are there extra charges for Holloway?

When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the damage.
- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holloway as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How we price wood floor repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire floor
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
