DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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

Wood floor repair in Northwood, done in place

Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. We work on engineered wood, solid wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most often call us about dents from dropped items and burns.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Northwood and across Greater London. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills right away.

Your questions about wood floor repair in Northwood

What does wood floor repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are there extra charges for Northwood?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

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

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The material
Doing more than one item at once
Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Any details about the material
Your postcode, so we can check dates
Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in Northwood, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
