Is it worth repairing old floors in a period home in Tillingham?
Usually: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. Send pictures and we will advise.
Do you work for landlords with property near Southminster station?
Yes, landlords and agents book us regularly, and a repair between tenants is normally quicker than replacing.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole floor and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use. Somewhere like Tillingham needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking.

- Next we fill the dents and chips.
- The repair is levelled to the board.
- We match the colour and grain by hand.
- Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the whole floor
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most customers in Tillingham get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. In an older home in a village like Tillingham, replacing a floor can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Our wood floor repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we’re called out for in Tillingham
Chair legs, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Dents from dropped items
- Chipped board edges
- Gouges from moving appliances
- Burns
In the older streets of Tillingham, around landmarks like Church of St Nicholas, old tiles are hard to match, so repairing a damaged one keeps the original floor.
