Wood floor repair in Wanstead without replacing anything

Boards are repaired where they lie, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. Our technicians work on engineered wood, wood-effect vinyl (ask us) and laminate flooring, and the jobs we see most are dents from dropped items and scratches from furniture and pets.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills immediately.

Landlord and trade work in Wanstead

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common questions in Wanstead

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you come to Wanstead?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Wanstead. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I need to move furniture?

Just around the damaged area.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What we are called out for in Wanstead

Furniture, pets and dropped items scratch and dent wood and laminate, and moving appliances can gouge them.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chipped board edges
  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances
  • Dents from dropped items

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire floor
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most clients in Wanstead 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.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the dents and chips.
  3. We sand the repair flush with the board.
  4. We match the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and relaying. Repairing it leaves the floor down. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our prices page.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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