Need wood floor repair in Latchingdon?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Wood floor repair in Latchingdon without replacing anything

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with burns and chipped board edges, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Latchingdon as everywhere else we work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Common questions in Latchingdon

Which areas do you work in?

All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Do you cover Latchingdon?

We do. We send a technician to Latchingdon for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board can mean lifting the floor back to it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

  • Solid wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Laminate flooring
  • Engineered wood

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Latchingdon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

  • Burns
