Wood floor repair at your home in Waltham Forest

Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. If you’re dealing with gouges from moving appliances and scratches from furniture and pets, we can normally put it right, on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), solid wood and laminate flooring alike.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

FAQs for Waltham Forest

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What wood floor repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire floor

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire floor, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

What we are called out for in Waltham Forest

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and moving appliances can gouge them.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

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

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)
  • Engineered wood
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate flooring

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
