What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Greater London. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you work in Islington?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Islington from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What does wood floor repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your N1 postcode.
Repairing versus replacing in Islington
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- A fixed quote before booking
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
See our prices page.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the damaged area is cleaned.
- Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
- We sand the repair flush with the board.
- The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
