Trusted wood floor repair in West Hampstead

Wood floor repair at your home in West Hampstead

We repair damaged boards in place, matched to the colour and grain. Water-swollen laminate needs replacing, and we will be honest about that. We regularly repair laminate flooring, engineered wood and wood-effect vinyl (ask us), and people most frequently call us about dents from dropped items and chipped board edges.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Use felt pads under furniture and wipe up spills promptly.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

When to call us in West Hampstead

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

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

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

FAQs for West Hampstead

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire floor and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire floor

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the damage.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in West Hampstead

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a damaged board can mean lifting the floor back to it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. A repair works with the boards in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

See our prices page.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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.

What we work on

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