Plaistow questions
Do you work for schools and businesses in Plaistow?
Yes, we work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. Photos and a few details are enough for a quote.
Can you restore the original floors in an older house in Plaistow?
Generally: original pieces are often better made and harder to replace. We’ll give you an honest view from photos.
Does the room need clearing?
Only from the area we are working on.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we tidy up before we leave.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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. In an older home in a village like Plaistow, replacing a floor can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Plaistow
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.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Do you need wood floor repair in Plaistow?
Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.
Look out for these signs:
- Chipped board edges
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Scratches from furniture and pets
- Burns
In the older streets of Plaistow, around landmarks like Holy Trinity Church, old tiles are hard to match, so repairing a damaged one keeps the original floor.
