Your questions about wood floor repair in Stansted

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Stansted.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

Repair or replace in Stansted?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the floor, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take 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 sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. The colour and grain are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is finished to match the floor’s sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
