Landlords, agents and businesses in St James's

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What wood floor repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole floor
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

10 questions to ask before you book

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
