How we handle wood floor repair in Leamouth

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll be honest about that. We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. We regularly repair engineered wood, solid wood and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are scratches from furniture and pets and gouges from moving appliances.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Landlord and trade work in Leamouth

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Leamouth use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Leamouth

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Leamouth customers choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our pricing.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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

Leamouth: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

What areas do you cover?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Choosing a repair company

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Leamouth, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed 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.
