Common questions in Stratford St Mary

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Essex.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  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. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to compare quotes

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stratford St Mary. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Stratford St Mary, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stratford St Mary

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repair or replace in Stratford St Mary?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
