About our wood floor repair in Hornestreet

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), laminate flooring and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are gouges from moving appliances and burns.

Rural addresses like Hornestreet just need a little planning, and we’ll plan the visit around it.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hornestreet. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole floor

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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.

Common problems we fix in Hornestreet

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Gouges from moving appliances

Facilities teams at buildings such as Langham Primary School can book us for tiled corridors and washrooms too.

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there. In a village or hamlet like Hornestreet, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space clear if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Repair or replace in Hornestreet?

Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
