Your questions about wood floor repair in Royal Docks

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Royal Docks?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Royal Docks.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole floor and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Royal Docks

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
