Wood floor repair in London Docklands, done in place
Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Laminate swollen by water can’t be repaired, and we will tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and engineered wood, and the jobs we see most are chipped board edges and gouges from moving appliances.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe spills right away.

Common questions in London Docklands
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What happens next?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does the room need clearing?
Just around the damaged area.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to London Docklands. The price depends on:

- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and laying it all again. A repair leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
About our accreditations · Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.
