FAQs for Latimer

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How we handle wood floor repair in Latimer

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we will tell you if that is the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. We work on laminate flooring, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

How we price wood floor repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Latimer customers choose us

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Latimer

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Buckinghamshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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