Wood floor repair for Jockey End homes

About our wood floor repair in Jockey End

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. We work on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe up spills promptly.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Jockey End

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can scratched laminate be fixed?

Yes. We fill and colour-match scratches and chips.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Does the room need clearing?

Just around the damaged area.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
