Book wood floor repair in South Woodford

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

Wood floor repair at your home in South Woodford

We repair damaged boards in place, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for scratches from furniture and pets and dents from dropped items, across solid wood, engineered wood and laminate flooring.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

  • Underfloor damage

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including South Woodford. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you are in South Woodford and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
